I think writing really helps you heal yourself. I think if you write long enough, you will be a healthy person. That is, if you write what you need to write, as opposed to what will make money, or what will make fame.

I don't make deals for the money. I've got enough, much more than I'll ever need. I do it to do it.

When I get a little money I buy books and if any is left I buy food and clothes.

To be clever enough to get all that money, one must be stupid enough to want it.

A drunkard would not give money to sober people. He said they would only eat it, and buy clothes and send their children to school with it.
