Whatever solidarity I have established with other writers individually, it is usually organized around books. We connected as readers, as it were, not writers.

Wherever there's capitalism there's this inclination toward simplicity. There's also a human need to process complicated things by turning them into something else.

The mind is complicated and you can't trace the roots of its processes, but there is something about mathematical and algorithmic patterns that I like to recognize in things.

Everyone operates within their own domain and obviously those domains overlap to a great extent.

I don't believe in inspiration. I write when I can't avoid writing anymore.

I hate traveling and being away from my family. But I like meeting my readers, as what I write is actualized in them. Those encounters are exhilarating to me.

I'm a dilettante by temperament. I don't have any expectation.
