Loneliness is just a thing that I'm not personally interested in. So far, it hasn't been on my docket of things to write about.

Every story we remember is a novel. Novels make things more universal.

We see the beauty within and cannot say no.

To me any given story has its appropriate form. There might be some story I get involved with that's begging to be a graphic novel, so that will have to be that way.

But there was something psychological happening there that was just a little bit different. And the other thing was, there was no stigma. Kids weren't going into the 'Center-for-Kids-That-Need-More-Help' or something like that. It was 826 Valencia.

But I'm thinking about 12 things at once, a hundred thousand times a day. Most people do, I would imagine.

I'm never a fan of the sociopathic kind of reviewing, people who are sort of self-immolating and have social problems or whatever, and let it out in literary-criticism form. I just feel like book reviewing should be respectful and calm and not filled with bile.
