I dont walk around chuckling all the time. My outlook is very bleak. Its worse than bleak, its apocalyptic.

I've always been entranced with theater.

I'm fascinated with video games, though I can't really play them. It's definitely an art form that intrigues me to no end, though.

Actually what's worse than a dog's mouth is a cat's mouth. They're not dirtier per se, but they have sharper teeth, so they are much more likely to go deep, should they bite you.

I think people got in touch with me either knowing my work, or probably more frequently just knowing a plot or sort of buzz about something I did and sort of saying, "Get that guy that writes the crazy stuff in here."

As far as what I do, my value as a writer is certainly not to try to recapitulate a 19th century form. Certain styles of narrative don't conform to my style of experiencing the world.

My idea with my work is always to fashion something that's impossible to transpose into any other media.
