“Sulking is a big effort. So is not writing. I only
realized that when I did start writing. When I started getting real work done,
I realized how much easier it is to write than not to write. Not writing is
probably the most exhausting profession I’ve ever encountered. It takes it out
of you. It’s very psychically wearing not to write—I mean if you’re supposed to
be writing.”—Fran Lebowitz, “Fran Lebowitz, A Humorist at Work,” interviewed by James Linville and George
Plimpton, The Paris Review, Summer
1993
