When I write I'm never really thinking about themes or the universal.

Instagram what you think is funny and exciting and try not to include any animal abuse!

Artists themselves are neurotic and fearful people, and you can look at their work and figure out what they're scared of.

I feel like so much more than my gender and so much more than my relationship to my body and my relationship to men. And, but suddenly you're sort of asked to be an expert.

My fears came true: People called me fat and hideous, and I lived. And now I keep living.

I also really like to read good books and I don't have enough time to do it. So it's really hard for me to imagine willingly submitting myself to a trilogy of books that I've been told are at the fourth grade reading level which isn't a very nice thing to say but.

The fact is that I write under duress, often in my bed, often at the last minute. I'm kind of a binge writer I would say, which I don't support. I was always kind of that way. Probably the time I was the most regular as a writer was college. It was like, what else is there to do when you're living in the Midwest studying creative writing?
