quote of the day: monkeys

“My mother will tell me, ‘If you really want to write a good book, Laurie, write one about kids.’ And I think, If all I’m going to have a kid for is to generate some material, I’ll just get a bunch of monkeys. I don’t have to pay for a monkey’s college education. And no cop is ever going to call me in the middle of the night and say, ‘Hey, your monkey is smoking pot and drinking in the desert with other underage monkeys.’”

- Writer Laurie Notaro, in a 2004 interview with powells.com
