“I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional wor...” — Philip K. Dick Quote

I want to write about people I love, and put them into a fictional world spun out of my own mind, not the world we actually have, because the world we actually have does not meet my standards.

The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

It is sometimes an appropriate response to reality to go insane.

Drug misuse is not a disease, it is a decision, like the decision to step out in front of a moving car. You would call that not a disease but an error of judgment.

I would love to do an album of standards!

I have got lots of confidence in my own ability and I know I have got to keep up my standards.

When you fail by your own standards, it's a form of success.

I live my life by certain standards.

I would love to work on a film which would be close to Hollywood standards.
