By removing the stories from the morass of things that surround us, I'm hoping to achieve some kind of purer approach to emotional life.

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

I've never related to the work geek at all-it sounds much more horrible than nerd. Like a freak biting a chicken's head off in a sideshow.

You could grow up in the city where history was made and still miss it all.

I hate feeling too complacent when I write. I like to be solving new problems.

When people call something "original," 9 out of 10 times they just don't know the references or original sources involved.

what exactly is postmodernism, except modernism without the anxiety?
