Go to a place and just send out emails. That's my entire life. I go to countries and I ask, "Who would I know who lives here?" Not even do I know, but who exists and is on the planet.

I like European and South American literature, but mostly I read nonfiction.

I mean, many times your creative problem is accidentally your personal problem, but it's not quite the same.

I don't think that I can be settled and I don't think that I would ever want to be.

Most of what I do is for creative people - writers and painters and photographers - trying to work through creative problems.

Feminism now seems to be defined as success is defined: as being as good at capitalism as men are. I feel very estranged from it.

I believe in free will.
