Sometimes I worry about the amount of paper I waste.

I often feel newspapers are just filling up space. Of course, I also know people who write really long books.

It would be nice to design a real briefcase - you open it up and it's your computer but it also stores your books.

I've been slightly obsessed with paper and notebooks. Among my most precious possessions is a small light-blue, breviary-sized volume - four-and-a-half inches wide, seven inches tall - made by a company called Denbigh.

The thing with bookshelves, no matter how many you have, you always fill them.

Me carrying a briefcase is like a hotdog wearing earrings.

I am probably exaggerating a little, but I owe my equilibrium to ink and paper.

I'm drowning in papers.

I had a briefcase at one point, but it was a kind of 1980s New Wave briefcase. It was made of some kind of cardboard and it had metal hinges. It was kind of faux industrial looking, and I used to carry my books in it rather than a backpack. I didn't want to have normal student accoutrements.

I can't argue my way out of a paper bag.
