    The Road was my favorite book that I’ll likely only ever read once. It really sticks with you and McCarthy was a master.

    Blood Meridian is a masterpiece and my favorite book of all time. “His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.”

    Let me tell you, folks, he was a tremendous novelist, I mean the very best. Nobody could write like him, nobody. I liked him a lot, I really did. He had a way with words, a tremendous talent. But it’s really sad, folks, really sad, what happened to him. The way he passed, it’s just terrible. It’s a tragedy, folks, a real tragedy. We lost a great one, a truly great one. And it’s just so sad, so very sad
