Jay McInerney Quotes

You have friends who actually care about you and speak the language of the inner self. You have avoided them of late. Your soul is as disheveled as your apartment, and until you can clean it up a little you don’t want to invite anyone inside Picture Quote #1

You keep thinking that with practice you will eventually get the knack of enjoying superficial encounters, that you will stop looking for the universal solvent, stop grieving. You will learn to compound happiness out of small increments of mindless pleasure Picture Quote #1

Your presence here is is only a matter of conducting an experiment in limits, reminding yourself of what you aren’t Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

I was fortunate to get a lot of mileage out of my vices... The point is not to be debilitated by your pleasures. Maybe I have lucky genes or something but I’ve never been truly addicted to anything, except pleasure in general Picture Quote #1

You described the feeling you’d always had of being misplaced, of always standing to one side of yourself, of watching yourself in the world even as you were being in the world, and wondering if this was how everyone felt. That you always believed that other people had a clearer idea of what they were doing, and didn’t worry quite so much about why Picture Quote #1

There is a type of writer that can happily bury themselves in the country and dig very deep, but I’m not like that Picture Quote #1

The most interesting things that happen in my books are usually the things that arise spontaneously, the things that surprise me Picture Quote #1

A creative writing program is only as good as its teachers, and I was fortunate in having two great writers as mentors Picture Quote #1

I think men talk to women so they can sleep with them and women sleep with men so they can talk to them Picture Quote #1

Anybody who becomes a movie star becomes successful at projecting a certain image to the public Picture Quote #1

I like the fact that I’m living in the world rather than in a university Picture Quote #1

I envy those writers who outline their novels, who know where they’re going. But I find writing is a process of discovery Picture Quote #1
