I would not wear any clothes that had a brand name on them, and I only read books that were canonical.

I don't like pretentious films or pretentious people.

I was a vegetarian for a really long time, from 7 to 23, so I feel like some things aren't that weird but they seem weird to me, like blood sausage or snails. Those are things I've eaten now that, years ago, it would have been totally improbable that I would have eaten.

I quite enjoy a high-waisted cotton panty.

Lena Dunham or Miranda July, those people are sort of thinking about their work in a slightly different way than I do, where their whole body is a seed of what they're creating. I can't imagine watching Miranda's movies with anybody else playing her role, she's so integral. But for me, it feels more like every story is really individual. If I thought of something else, or thought it should be my body representing it, I'd fold my body into it. But most of the time I'm writing to get something out of my body.

On a personal level, just for me in my own work, I would say the most interesting thing has been getting to work with the people that I've worked with.

When we do something we're not proud of, a lot of people don't want to look at that, people may say "what people don't know won't hurt them."
