I get a lot of letters from people.

The letters from jail are always disconcerting.

I'm not an ordinary prisoner.

My buddy tells me a lot of interesting stories about what goes on in prison - it just makes my head spin about what they deal with on a day-to-day basis.

A mind enclosed in language is in prison.

I wrote a million words in the first year, and I could never have done that outside of prison.

I never think of myself as any kind of sex symbol, but I get letters from all over, all sorts. It's really cool. I get a lot from inmates, which is kind of scary. But the best was the guy who wanted to send me a plane ticket to fly me to his prom.

To be in prison so long, it's difficult to remember exactly what you did to get there.

Prison makes an interesting context for so many different characters to come together. You get to see what lines get drawn between people.
