Well, hello. My name is Lin. But if you're dyslexic, call me Nil.

I had friends who only listened to hip-hop. I had friends who only listened to musicals, and I stood proudly in the middle.

The distance between where I am and where I want to be seems impossibly large.

I think if you want to make a recipe for making a writer, have them feel a little out of place everywhere, have them be an observer kind of all the time. And that's a great way to make a writer.

I 've got this weird day that changed my life. I woke up one Wednesday, and my wife's a lawyer, she was off to get on a plane, to go to a business meeting somewhere else, and she said, "I think you might be a father. I have to go to the airport." It was like, six in the morning, and I was like, "That's great - what?!" I called her at noon once her flight landed, to confirm that I hadn't dreamt the thing she told me.

The problem is I got a lot of brains but no polish.

My kid gets me out of bed in the morning.
