Who you are moment to moment is just a story.

The only thing I shy away from is non-consensual violence. I can't write a story where someone is a simple victim because it's boring.

We all die. The goal isn't to live forever, the goal is to create something that will.

There's no way you can get the past right. You can pretend. You can delude yourself, but you can't re-create what's over.

Ever since college, I make friends. They get married. I lose friends.

Torture is torture and humiliation is humiliation only when you choose to suffer.
