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

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

I love art and I think I was destined to end up in some aspect of the arts.

I would sleep 12 hours a day if I could.

Art is the most benign cultural practice, and yet art has an upper bound of personal revelation that is so far away it is basically a horizon.

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

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.
