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

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 promote my own self-hatred.

I am part of a vast generation of people who perpetually live as if they just graduated from college.

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

I'm also not sure that I look up to others as knowing what the hell is going on, except maybe Andre Agassi, who, when I interviewed him, while covering the U.S. Open, seemed to know what was going on. My basic assumption is that we're all confused all the time. Some people do act more confident, though. Maybe they aren't confused. I am. I'm confused.

I've always been inspired by Don Quixote as a role model of sorts, of the power of books to sort of make you insane in maybe a beautiful way.
