I tend to only write productively for one to two hours per day, so there is plenty of time left over for me to work a day job!

Now I am as big of an [ Georgia] O'Keeffe admirer as Ivy [Wilkes] is, but that came through writing the book.

Does art play a role in the greater good of society, or does it just promote the satisfaction of the artist? I go back and forth on that question.

The book [The Dissemblers] officially came out two weeks after my thirtieth birthday...am I still young?

I lived in New Mexico until I was seventeen, and honestly I've been homesick ever since I left.

I read letters and journal entries by [Georgia] O'Keeffe (which were infinitely more useful than any critical analysis of her work).

I hope to work through disappointment and frustration with as much grace as [Georgia] O'Keeffe did, and I hope to have the same confidence in my own vision.
