I once talked about wanting to kill myself, but I don't think I was ever really planning on doing it. It was just comforting to know that I could.

I've become less angry and a little more humble by age and by experience and by going through the ups and downs of life.

I seem to offend everybody. I just never got into the universe. I don't seem to have a tremendous amount of discipline or patience with having to follow a story that is really multi-leveled and science-fiction.

Have you ever had one of those moments when you look up and realize that you're one of those people you see on the train talking to themselves?

My dad is actually a manic depressive, which is very exciting half the time.

I think sharing experience makes everything better. When people get talking about how they've overcome something or how they haven't, it's nourishing.

I'm not a moron, but science fiction to me requires a suspension of disbelief and honest curiosity or fascination in that kind of bullshit. I've just never been able to make that jump, really. I like things to be more organic.
