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

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.

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.

I would sleep 12 hours a day if I could.

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.

Growing up, my mom would watch 'Notting Hill' a lot. She loves Hugh Grant.

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