If you took away everything in the world that had to be invented, there'd be nothing left except a lot of people getting rained on.

We shed as we pick up, like travellers who must carry everything in their arms, and what we let fall will be picked up by those behind. The procession is very long and life is very short. We die on the march. but there is nothing outside the march so nothing can be lost to it.

I'm a very boring person.

Life in a box is better than no life at all, I expect. You'd have a chance at least. You could lie there thinking: Well, at least I'm not dead.

I write scenes - often quite long scenes - mainly because I still get seduced into writing six lines where one and a half will do.

I don't think I can be expected to take seriously any game which takes less than three days to reach its conclusion.

can only write about what bites you.
