"American writers ought to stand and live in the margins, and be more dangerous. Writers in repressive societies are considered dangerous. That's why so many of them are in jail."

--Don DeLillo, from the 1988 interview with Ann Arensberg

"If you're a writer who, one way or another, comes to be seen as dangerous, you'll wake up one morning and discover your face on a coffee mug or a t-shirt and you'll have been neutralised."
Interview pour Panic (Nov. 2005)

"The world is shrinking into a kind of technological funnel. I think people are drawn into their technological devices, and this becomes a kind of subjective universe, into which much of the rest of the world simply does not enter."
Interview for St. Louis Beacon, Sept. 17, 2010.

"We don't really know how technology will affect narrative. That's the question. See, people used to say that the novel is going to die, but they would never say that movies will die with it, when in fact all forms depend on the narrative. I think if one of them fails, the others are going to fail as well."
(conversation avec Bret Easton Ellis, The Believer, septembre 2011)
