I want to have your abortion.

We're all of us haunted and haunting.

You have a choice. Live or die. Every breath is a choice. Every minute is a choice. To be or not to be.

I'm only confrontational with my friends.

I try to tell a story the way someone would tell you a story in a bar, with the same kind of timing and pacing.

This is how it is with insomnia. Everything is so far away, a copy of a copy of a copy. The insomnia distance of everything, you can't touch anything and nothing can touch you.

Public taste changes and the aesthetic of a culture changes over time, so the idea isn't to appeal to the aesthetic of the moment and what people will like right now; the idea is to somehow keep yourself in the public memory so that as taste evolves it will eventually come to embrace your thing. So, it's about writing to be remembered rather than writing to be liked.
