It was one of those days when every time I went to go out the door, something grabbed me in the back of the brain and said, lie down and masturbate one more time.

I don't like to publicly acknowledge being a Jew.

A lot of readers have actually helped me, been really sweet to me... So maybe my cry for help has sometimes been answered.

I always liked those characters in 'True Blood' who could turn into animals. I'd love to be an animal of some kind and run quickly through a forest.

No one I interact with - except maybe for family and strangers at the Russian baths and other weird places I may go to - is just friends or lovers with me: they also know something of my writing and this distorts their take on me.

I don't laugh that much, but I do like humorous books, and I like to entertain readers that way.

It's hard for me to think of writing a novel, because it takes so long.
