Zitat des Tages von Jay McInerney:
Add anchovies to almost anything, in moderation, and it will taste better.
I don't think I found my voice until I reached New York. I suppose it's possible I would have had some kind of different literary career if I had not discovered New York.
Yeah, 'Gossip Girl' is a good show. It's a real New York show, like 'Sex and the City.'
If being a spokesman for a generation is a fleeting occupation, being a symbol of an era is downright dangerous for anyone who has the bad luck to outlive it.
Publishers send me a lot of first novels because my first novel was the defining novel of my career, and I guess a lot of people want my benediction or something.
Anybody who becomes a movie star becomes successful at projecting a certain image to the public.
Love is the eternal quest: almost everyone wants to love and be loved.
I don't think I've left a trail of weeping women in my wake. I mean, the number of serious relationships I've had has not been into double digits.
Mine is not an autonomous imagination.
My former wife is a very eccentric woman, which is why I still love her.
I don't want to have my life fall apart for my work.
'Socialist' is the nastiest thing you can say about an American politician in some quarters.
I envy those writers who outline their novels, who know where they're going. But I find writing is a process of discovery.
I've been interested in writing and storytelling since I learned to read, but it wasn't until I read Dylan Thomas, when I was 14, that I became interested in language itself, and saw it as more than a transparent medium for a story.
I'm a romantic; you have to be to marry four times.
I remain a fan of my friend Bret Easton Ellis's 'American Psycho.' I think as a book about New York in the '80s it was pretty excellent.
You know, Greenwich Village was the traditional bohemia of New York. I wish I could say that was entirely true now. It's, uh... changed. It's now got, God help us, investment bankers and journalists, but it's still a very beautiful part of New York.
