Being in the same room with people and creating something together is a good thing.

I like to make people think differently than they did before I walked in the room.

Novelists in particular love to rhapsodize about the glory of the solitary mind; this is natural, because their job requires them to sit in a room by themselves for years on end. But for most of the rest of us, we think and remember socially.

I have a few pieces that I got for my birthdays or that I bought for myself: I acquire things that speak to me and put them on my wall. When I see things I like, I just know.

I grew up pretty much entertaining myself. So I know what its like to be in a room by myself and having fun with something.

I do give a great deal of forethought and zone in on character and all sorts of things like that. Never before have I just stuffed something away in the back cupboard of my brain because it was just such a crazy concept.

I think I draw my inspiration from a lot of conversations that I had with people or my friends and combine them together with my own personal experience.

My room was a real way of expressing myself. It was like a little nest that I could settle into.

Once you get into something so big, people think of you in one way.

Whenever I'm reading a book I enjoy, I always develop a mental list of the people I want to share it with.
