I've always wanted to figure out how to do a walking story. I'd never figured out how to do one and have it work or be interesting or have anything that it's about.

I sometimes think that we expect too much resolution in this world.

You can sometimes find something good on the other side of doing something very, very painful.

When you get immersed in whatever you're writing, the world does suddenly get so filtered through what you're writing. And then of course what you're writing then filters the world right back.

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

I wouldn't underestimate the power of writing a letter.

I grew up flying over oceans and moving and sailing.
