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

Sometimes I think my purpose is as a saboteur when I'm working with other people, derailing what they're trying to do or taking things to a ludicrous extremity.

Stand-up comedy had an interesting effect on me in terms of how I started to think about constructing things, because I really loved the interstices, the linkages, or lack thereof.

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

My relationship with my readers is somewhat theatrical. One of the main things I try to do in my work is delight my readers.

I've always been entranced with theater.

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."
