I'm just not very comfortable talking about my emotions on a normal, day-to-day basis.

So your emotional state really has a lot to do with what you're thinking about and what you're paying attention to.

I'm a pretty emotional person.

But I'm not interested in politics. I lose interest the microsecond it ceases to be emotional, when something becomes a political movement. What I'm interested in is emotions.

I'm not afraid, as a writer, of being emotional. I'm obsessed with human emotion, body parts, physicality.

What interests me most are the emotional lives of the people. If I don't have that, it's not worth doing, frankly.

No one writes about the emotional things you go through.

I'm a very emotional person.

Maybe I spent more time dwelling on emotions than some people, and maybe that's why I ended up writing.
