I knew what infinity was. Being a previous art student, I knew about some art concepts.

By the time I finished the book [All Alone in the Universe], Robin Roy was saying, "More pictures!"

I love that when you're writing your mind is sort of figuring things out on its own, without you directing it.

The morning time is also a time when I look at what I did yesterday. That's often a jumping-off point for today.

In the bedroom time I have generated thoughts, and then in the studio I take those thoughts and try to shape them into something.

I don't want to make myself sound that spontaneous, because I'm not.

Some of it just involved thinking about, for example, the different kinds of science, what chemistry is.
