The past was so past it hurt.

The Ice Storm, because of the movie, has had, or is to have, a vigorous life in other cultures.

Maybe when I'm sixty-five I'll talk about my literary life.

Major theme of the book ["Hotels of North America"], from my point of view: what is persona, what is self, in the digital sphere, and/or what is the effect of it on self in a prolonged interaction.

I always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.

I turned forty, and Im finally going to get married and maybe have a kid.

So while it is true that I find really dark stuff funny sometimes, it's also true that as a writer of books I want to have the whole range of human emotions.
