I suppose you retire from trying. If you retire from trying, you think, "Maybe love will just come my way if I don't want it anymore."

There's a lot of water in everything I've ever written. There's always oceans and pools.

I can't say that fantasy instead of the 3D world is fine or good, but I know in my own life I have certain people I've kind of fixated upon to the point of pure fantasy. Then there's such a dilemma when here they are, and they're getting ever less and less like the way the fantasy has them.

I do some messing around with things, not necessarily about me but about place and people and the things around.

In order to have a real life of any romance, there has to be a level of fantasy.

When you're waiting for a bus, the thing to do is smoke a cigarette.
