I knew my motivations for going to each place and what I was looking for. If I don't do that then I generally don't write about my travels.

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

I was twenty-one when I was hired by Planned Parenthood. It was my first work experience outside of either temping or working for my father at his store.

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

I have a really good life and I really like it.

I would never tell anybody to get a divorce.

I believe in free will.
