I think it's really important to have a sense of humor.

I didn't really have a major role in how it was described. I wanted it to be a collection of essays where each storyline could be contained.

I do think that people yearn for connection and intimacy, and that they're hard things to achieve.

I love anybody funny. I think my ten-year-old sister is really funny. She makes me laugh way more than most people do.

I don't know how to talk about technology in a positive or negative way because it's just the way the world is to me. It seems like talking about the advantages of breathing through holes in our face instead of holes that lead more directly to the lungs.

The last time I was asked that, I said "A Year Without Spoons." Normally you get asked the same questions over and over, so it feels boring to say the same thing. But then I was like, I don't even know another essay I like. They're all good.

I don't really like to write anywhere but my own apartment. I send a lot of text messages to myself as email when I'm not at home. My texts are usually like, "If I ever break up with my boyfriend I want to date a very angry rapper."
