- Benedict Nightingale- Copy
“ When you're a kid, what fun the game is! You grab a bat and glove and ball, that's it. I know what Ted Williams and Stan Musial meant when they said it got tougher to get in shape every year. ”

“ I had a late supper one evening with Frank and Treat Williams… Treat took us for a trip in his plane around the Manhattan skyline, an incredible, somehow touching sight. I wonder why?… We passed so close to the World Trade Center buildings that we could see the diners innocently enjoying themselves in the restaurant… ”

“ I met Little Walter before I started recording. He was around Chicago. He used to play Chicago in a place called Jew Town. That's on the streets. He was a great harp player but he didn't have the Walter style then, he had John Lee Williams, Sonny Boy, not Rice Miller, he was playin' on that style… ”

“ I loved all the camp comics of my childhood, Kenneth Williams and Frankie Howerd and John Inman, but school gave me a very bad feeling about being gay and then, when I was about 12 - bang, along came AIDS. I can't think of a single positive thing about being gay at that time. ”

“ Intelligence: I was asked tonight why I refuse to have truck with intellectuals after business hours. But of course I won t. 1. I am not an intellectual. Two minutes talk with Aldous Huxley, William Glock, or any of the New Statesman crowd would expose me utterly… ”

“ Gonzo journalism is a style of "reporting" based on William Faulkner's idea that the best fiction is far more true than any kind of journalism — and the best journalists have always known this. True gonzo reporting needs the talents of a master journalist, the eye of an artist/photographer and the heavy balls of an actor… ”
- Hunter S. Thompson- Copy
“ Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head. Shakespeare has perhaps 20 players, and Tennessee Williams has about 5, and Samuel Beckett one — and maybe a clone of that one. I have 10 or so, and that's a lot. As you get older, you become more skillful at casting them. ”
- Gore Vidal- Copy
