I Thought Of Myself As Kind Of

People Really Want To Believe That There Is No Fiction. I Think They Find It Much Easier To Imagine That Novelists Are Writing Memoirs, Writing About Their Lives, Because It's Difficult To Conceive That There's A Great Imaginary Life In Which You Can Participate.

I Think People Got In Touch With Me Either Knowing My Work, Or Probably More Frequently Just Knowing A Plot Or Sort Of Buzz About Something I Did And Sort Of Saying, "get That Guy That Writes The Crazy Stuff In Here."

I Guess I Can Picture Things Once They're Done - I Just Can't Picture Actually Doing Them.

My Idea With My Work Is Always To Fashion Something That's Impossible To Transpose Into Any Other Media.

I Can Tell From About 20 Yards Away When Someone Has A Manuscript For Me. I Can Just Tell - They Have That Look.
