I think literature is best when it's voicing what we would prefer not to talk about.

Capitalism, in the realm of sexuality, I figure, thinks that we behave in specific ways, like a breast is always going to produce a hard-on for some product, whereas the truth is that sexuality is always a continuum, which can be characterized by reversals.

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

Sadness is simply something to be treated with antidepressant meds and otherwise need not be spoken of.

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

I sort of hate the novel when it doesn't push, restlessly, against the tradition and the traditional.
