I still feel, as I did when I was six or seven, that books are simply the best way to experience a story.

I'd love to do a whole series of stories and have them collected into books.

I think you can get a sort of intensity and an edginess offering nine stories in a book. Competing versions of things.

I wouldn't like to just do one story or one type of stories all the time.

I wrote my first story when I was six or seven.

But at the same time, I have trouble keeping things out of books, which is why I don't write short stories because they turn into novels.

I wish I could spend six years writing one novel.

I've never really thought of writing books. I've never thought about stories as a part of a collection.

Your life story would not make a good book. Don't even try.

I don't finish every story, but I probably write and send out three out of five of them.
