I believe that all men are just overgrown boys with deep problems communicating.

I started writing when I was about 20, 21 maybe.

I was a book-y child. I was much more book-y than dark.

Now you people have names. That's because you don't know who you are. We know who we are, so we don't need names.

There was nowhere they could have gone and they went there anyway.

I was kidnapped by aliens, they came down from outer space with ray guns, but I fooled them by wearing a wig and laughing in a foreign accent, and I escaped.

Stories you read when you're the right age never quite leave you. You may forget who wrote them or what the story was called. Sometimes you'll forget precisely what happened, but if a story touches you it will stay with you, haunting the places in your mind that you rarely ever visit.
