I wish other people would write about loneliness more. It's hard to remember that it's not personal. We live in a world that is built to make people lonely... It's difficult to remember that your loneliness is not really about you and everyone has it.

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

I don't tell clients what to do. I don't even really tell them what the future is.

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

I don't behave the way people necessarily want me to, but I tried behaving that other way for a short period of time and it didn't take.

There's this resistance to actually talking to people who are smarter than you about things and I don't know why that is.

Just send the emails and talk to people. Spend all your money on nail polish and opera tickets.
