I don't write about anything I don't love even if that love sometimes gets all screwed up and tormented.

The computer is the way I'm making books, but I still think about the physical properties. I visualize the length of a book, the proportions of a book, in material terms.

Consensual reality is both fragile and elastic, and it heals like the skin of a bubble.

Tourette's is just one big lifetime of tag, really. The world (or my brain---same thing) appoints me it, again and again. So I tag back. Can it do otherwise? If you've ever been it you know the answer.

When Rolling Stone handed me this crazy assignment to be in the studio with James Brown, they had the misapprehension that I'd written for them already just because I claimed my character had.

I guess they needed a maze in Japan, where everything's neat and tidy. In America everybody's already wandering around lost.

The world's large enough and interesting enough to take a different approach each time you sit down to write about it.
