I trained myself to be organized.

Whenever I go to work I wear a jacket and a tie, because I'm inherently quite lazy, and my books take so long to do, and my publishers don't bug me, so it's so easy to fool yourself into thinking you're working harder than you really are.

I like new ballets because they're totally new. As you get older, new experiences are harder and harder to come by, so it's pretty great to have a new experience.

You come in off the street, through the doors of the theater. You sit down. The lights go down and the curtain goes up. And you're in another world

Nobody believes this, but I write very fast.

At the ballet, you really feel like you're in the presence of something outside the rest of your life. Higher than the rest of your life.

My predictions are notably inaccurate
