I'm not very disciplined. I tend to write late at night because I get distracted during the day.

I was living in a house with 11 dogs and all I thought about was dogs. I never had sex with any of them though.

I want the situations and plots to be surprising and unusual.

I make films about people with disabilities as well and I think this question is more relevant in regards to these documentaries where the actual person appears on film. I know these people are proud of who they are and what they are doing with their lives.

I chose the title Dogwalker because that describes me pretty well. I spend a lot of time walking around with my dogs. I'd say the narrator is me in an alternate universe.

Sometimes the autobiographical link in each story is very literal, like I did work at The Texas School for the Blind, and I did once lose a mattress out of the back of a friend's truck.

I wanted to do a collection where the narrator is constant throughout, so that there's a little unity.
