I’ve always been uninterested in boundaries or quarantines between tastes and types, between mediums and genres.

Every artist has limits. No one can do everything. It's impossible.

I keep one simple rule that I only move in one direction - I write the book straight through from beginning to end. By following time's arrow I keep myself sane.

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

It's now expected of me that I will defy expectation, so I really generally seem to be free to write what I want.

I don't want to indulge myself in the luxury of writing beautiful paragraphs just for the sake of making beautiful writing. That doesn't interest me. I want everything to be essential.
