It's harder to make money when you're not a machine in a massive apparatus designed only to make money, but artists will figure it out.

Books woke me up. Books are my favorite man-made objects. I fetishize their design, smell, feel. And that they can contain such burning, complex communications is a miracle to me.

I started to write a series of fantasy novels when I was eleven. I have never taken anything artistic as seriously; since then, writing has felt like an attempt to get back there, to my bedroom, my maps, those races and languages and runes.

With writing and publishing, my only aim is to live in the aesthetic pleasure dome.

Mistakes quickly pile up and coalesce into a reputation, and a reputation is hard to shake.

I don't eat fast food often, but I love tacos. I could write prophetically about how perfect the taco is.
