Baseball is a game where you are always waiting, and then when something happens it's like turning a kaleidoscope when you were a kid.

The people who make reality are angry peasants with old cannon shells wired together, an anti-vehicle device.

The culture is with some rapidity fearing its imagination. I don't know why. Imagination is not of interest.

The best defense is a good story.

I have a wonderful editor who believes in fiction and poetry. She herself is a novelist and poet.

I always write the best that I can. And I won't publish it until I have done it right.
