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

I would sleep 12 hours a day if I could.

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

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

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.
