“I'd buy him a drink, but I don't know if I'd loan him any money.”
When asked what he would say about the man who wrote Neuromancer.
No Maps for These Territories (2000)
A sentence that he worked on for years earlier in his career, which eventually went nowhere. Troubled by inexperience in "actually getting the characters to move," he spent so much time on it that he can still remember every word more than 20 years later.
