I prefer old books and find them more relevant. I dislike new books. It's like drinking wine that's not ready.

Writing is physical for me. I always have the sense that the words are coming out of my body, not just my mind.

I'm a serial deconstructor of my own authority in certain areas.

As much as I care about historical context - I'm very eager to read a really great historical account.

I try not to become too regular an addict of any one subculture.

I don't have a lot of paper in my immediate work environment, except when I'm doing things like checking the godforsaken proofs.

I had an all-Fear of Music iPod, just versions of the 11 songs from the record. No other songs allowed.
