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

There are so many talented young writers named Jonathan, with whom by comparison I suffer terribly.

The work changes the way your face changes and ages - it just does. Also, I have very little connection to anything I've written. I move on. We all move on

I drink coffee. Without coffee, I probably couldnt write.

For me, books have always been a way to feel less alone while being alone. Perhaps if I was depressed and isolated, just communicating with these authors through their sentences helped me.

As a child, I wanted to be an athlete, a professional tennis player or something like that.

I've really never written about my relationships, or things like that. I wouldn't want to divulge things that were too private.
