I guess you could say I've been writing all my life.

To say a person is a happy person or an unhappy person is ridiculous. We are a thousand different kinds of people every hour.

In our memories the stories of our lives defy chronology, resist transcription: past ambushes present, and future hurries into history.

We live through books; we have adventures in them, we lead alternative lives through them. We expand our memories through them. And that sometimes art can offer us more intense experiences of the world than life itself can.

Open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever.

I never played inside as a kid - even in the rain I'd go out.

It wasn't until I was 26 or 25 when I started sending work out to magazines.
