It's a cliche, but true, that writing is intensely solitary and at times really lonely. I sit in one room and talk to squirrels and blue jays all day.
From Douglas Coupland
For whatever reason, I tend to get reporters who are maybe in the middle of intense therapy, and they turn what's supposed to be a professional interview into therapy for themselves.
Twinkies are more natural than most TV-interview shows.
Most time capsules, when they're unearthed, are really awful. There's nothing good in them.
Everyone wants to share what he or she has learned with someone who really cares.
I worship teachers. They can't be paid enough. It depresses me that society sees them as somehow expendable.
Writing is largely about time, while visual art is largely about space.
I'm a pretty good drawer. I have trouble painting because you literally have to wait for the paint to dry. I'm disciplined, but I'm not patient.
I kind of wonder if creativity is all morphing into one big thing that's not even art, but something universal and bigger.
Sometimes I wonder if the world is too interesting and too boring at the same time.
