Can you understand your own dreams, which arise with mushrooms' rank richness in the night-forests within your skull?
William T. VollmannThere are parts of L.A. that feel very, very Mexican, and there are weird little enclaves of Northside in Mexico - Cancรบn for instance. So what is a border?
William T. VollmannSome friends and I, we went right up there behind the studio and we got on a train, we could tell it was going to go to Roseville. We got off it and got on another train. And we got to Roseville, and it takes hours to get through that yard. It's really big. So we ended up just coming back here. It's like fishing or hunting. You can't always come back with something.
William T. VollmannI feel like I'm almost ready to write fiction about the border. But even after 10 years of writing nonfiction about it, I don't think I know quite enough to do it right.
William T. VollmannI want to fall in love with beautiful women of all races. Rescue somebody every now and then, improve my painting, and improve my sentence structure. If I can make a living doing that stuff, that's great, and I will keep doing it, and they can do whatever they want with my image. I couldn't care less.
