The key to mostly anything is pretending your first time isn't.

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

I work on a laptop specifically so I can work in cafes and pretend I'm part of the human world.

Music still sort of hangs up there in the sky for me as this thing that moves me so much, but I can't really make it. It's like a car I can't drive.

Yet I'm making a book and I'm going to care immensely about what words get bound in the pages, and I want the object to look good. I won't believe in it and it won't be real to me until there's a finished book I can hold.

You can't be deep without a surface

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