Literature and art are one of a number of relationships I have with the world. Like you have relationships with your friends and a relationship with your lover and your relationship with your family and your relationship with your work - sometimes it's really great; sometimes it's non-existent, sometimes it's fruitful.

Sometimes you do have people who are great at curating; sometimes you have people curating who don't know what they're do.

You have to know where the funny is, and if you know where the funny is, you know everything.

Writing fiction is a good way to inhabit other minds, if not other lives.

In the transcribing and the editing, you want some retention of how the person speaks - you don't want to edit out all of the hesitations and idiosyncrasies. And to get people to say something they've never said before. That's big.

I do feel it. And I've felt it my whole life, that the supernatural has a role in the world.

I kind of try to resist working a lot. I'm not a very disciplined worker.
