I'm really interested in the new nonfiction. I think the hyper-digital culture has changed our brains in ways we cannot begin to fathom.

I just can't read, the way other people can, these tediously elaborated books.

I'm just a totally selfish worker bee creating my little mini projects.

The reigning mythology of the Northwest is obviously nature, and the reigning mythology of the Northeast corridor is culture.

When you're in New York City or Boston or something, you feel surrounded by cities and by culture.

Seattle has shaped me in a lot of ways.

I'm not super-polite or civil - I try to be civil, but I'm not into Seattle's niceties, and I'm not hugely wired into Seattle's natural beauty.

The only rule is never be bored.
