I don't like rides. I take everything in life quite literally, and so I genuinely feel terrified on rides and liable to vomit at any moment, and I hate to vomit even more than I fear rides. So, all this to say, I don't have a favorite ride. I don't go on rides. Well, that's not true. A few years ago I had a beautiful, romantic moment on the Ferris wheel at Coney Island, known as the Wonder Wheel, and so I guess that's my favorite ride, though even that, to be frank, terrified me.

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.

I didn't play or like a lot of board games as a child. I liked playing with my G.I. Joes and making up adventures for them.

I didn't think I was in a morbid mood, but it appears I am. My mind goes round and round trying to figure things out, but I always come back to the same two things: Loneliness and Death. Life ends before we figure anything out, most importantly how not to be lonely. Solitude is fine. But feeling like you have no one to love - abject lonliness - is not alright.

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

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

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
