Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.

I can't get a relationship to last longer than it takes to make copies of their tapes.

I never appreciated 'positive heroes' in literature. They are almost always cliches copies of copies until the model is exhausted. I prefer perplexity doubt uncertainty not just because it provides a more 'productive' literary raw material but because that is the way we humans really are.

I published privately a collection of my serious poetry I had written over the years. I only published 50 copies which I gave to friends in a special deluxe edition. It was ridiculously expensive but I'm glad that I did it.

Even in the former Soviet Union they have good copies of my movies.

I remember my mom had a big collection of copies of Saturday Evening Post magazines and that was really my introduction to those great illustrators.

Someday I hope to write a book where the royalties will pay for the copies I give away.

History is a gallery of pictures in which there are few originals and many copies.

I know acts and I'm not going to name names but these people sold ten million copies the first time and the second album sells three million and it's considered a failure and they're dropped and that's really a shame.

But thankfully my first album 'Wide Screen ' was sort of a critics' darling - everyone raved about it but no one bought it. They only manufactured 10 000 copies I wasn't even in the running for failure!

I know that books I have written will still resonate in 50 years - particularly 'My Sister's Keeper.' It has sold three million copies in the States alone. I strongly feel that as a novelist you have a platform and the ability to change people's minds.
