I spend most of my time in my head. You can always work out solutions and satisfactions there. Maybe you can't actually bring them about, but there's usually a pleasant pillow of time between imagining you can, and realizing you cannot.

My parents are both scientists, and I was raised without god.

I think a lot of people try to edit themselves out and I think that's a big mistake, because the person being interviewed is responding to a person, and if you don't know who that person is then you don't really know what's going on with the person being interviewed.

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.

It's so hard to live that one needs a support around life. We can't live without some supernatural support.

I always had a fantasy of meeting a girl who was as serious as I was.

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