It is only through having a stable loving partnership that I began to feel in control enough to attempt a strict writing discipline, to realize something I always knew was simmering underneath.

I'm exposing faultlines, dealing especially with rhetoric. Showing that heterosexuality is a disease, or at least its inheritance.

If one writes the rules then one can contradict oneself. It's all about rhetoric, about official narratives.

I'm just too lazy. I wish I could be someone that has wild affairs - all of my favorite nonfiction novels are about these wild affairs and postmarital agonistes - but to be honest, I'm someone that doesn't deal well with instability.

When I get too worked up about things I have always escaped into catatonia.

People are depressed for many reasons, one of which I think is how we have been taught to react to trauma, to stress.

All of my wildness is in the writing. I have discovered I have to be orderly and boring in my personal life to be wild in my work.
