Famous quotes by Michael Chabon:

"I do think his books would reward reading by people who think they don't like fantasy."

"Did I really win? ... I had kind of figured it was not my year. My goodness, this is exciting."

"To some of them it had just been work, ... But some got caught up in the romance of creating comic books."

"It was the beginning of youth culture and pandering to youth culture, ... In that, the comic book publishers were definitely pioneers."

"It just made sense to apply this on a grander scale. If one of us can raise that much for a nonprofit on his own, what could a dozen or more authors pull in for the First Amendment Project?"

"I don't think anything else can be hopeful or accomplished if you have the fear that you will get arrested or prosecuted or censored, ... I saw a cry for help. So it was my goal to try to get writers whose work and whose name would be meaningful to the greatest number of people."

"the right not to use the name if it is offensive, mischievous, ill-intentioned or inappropriate."

"The winning names were not even remotely names I would have chosen or invented."

"It feels a little scary for most writers because when you're writing, you're completely in charge – you can say this book is all mine, it's my world. Whether giving over some of that has any monetary value or not, we'll see."

"It's very difficult to fail at pornography"

"That's the best thing about writing, when you're in that zone, you're porous, ready to absorb the solution."

"The things I keep going back to, rereading, maybe they say more about me as a reader than about the books. Love in the Time of Cholera, Pale Fire."

"Every time another review comes out I let out a deep breath."

"People keep saying, 'Oh, you're getting all these great reviews, that must make you really happy.' I guess it does, but mostly it's just a relief."

"I was surprised that my wife thought it was a good idea, then again with my agent, another woman, then my editor, another woman - in spite of the fact that all three of them reacted positively I still have this fear."

"It was an incredible resource. I'd sit with a big stack of bound New Yorkers in the library and read through, especially the 'Talk of the Town' sections."

"I wasn't involved, except to the degree that they sent me drafts of the script as the writer turned them in. They asked me at one point to write a memo about what I thought of it."

"It is unusual for Joe to be that way, but that's what interested me."

"Joe is the hero and Sammy is the sidekick. That's how I feel about it."

"I love Richard Yates, his work, and the novel, Revolutionary Road. It's a devastating novel."
