I love doing readings. I could really give a crap about reviews. It's kind of about the readers.

I've just always written, and always considered myself a writer. I wrote my first story when I was five. There was nothing else I wanted to do or be.

In the wintertime I like macaroni and cheese.

It's good to try stuff. I wrote a book that I threw away, and I think I just wrote it so I could try stuff in it and not be scared

You can quit smoking, and never have to have a cigarette again to survive. But with food, it is a daily challenge.

I just think structure can make a book feel so much bigger. It's the architecture. You could use flimsy materials if you wanted to, even, but it could still feel big.

I smoked for many years like a total idiot.
