I do most of my work sitting down; that's where I shine.

Anyone can do any amount of work, provided it isn't the work he is supposed be doing at that moment.

A great many people have come up to me and asked how I manage to get so much work done and still keep looking so dissipated.

The freelance writer is a man who is paid per piece or per word or perhaps.

Drawing on my fine command of the English language, I said nothing.

I know I'm drinking myself to a slow death, but then I'm in no hurry.
