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 have yet to get sued. My father thinks I should get liability insurance.

Talk to people who know more than you. I feel like we're in this stupid sea of opinion, like "My opinion is valid because it's mine and I have it."

American culture never necessarily made sense to me, but they should warn you: leaving comes with a huge sense of alienation that never goes away.

Women still get angry at me. I mean, men go after me sometimes, but most of the bad responses come from women.

I think American literature is in a tedious place, horrible place. I can't even engage with it.

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