I have to chose my words carefully.

I have to choose my words carefully because I don't want to sound like one of those who goes on about how things were better in my day.

I consider what I write to be literature. I choose the words carefully.

I'm actually rather orderly, although the way that I write is not.

I'm a lot of things at once. I want my audience to choose the side they like most about me.

I like to speak on matters which matter to human beings, and almost everything matters to human beings.

Words are a pretty blunt instrument. There's always going to be slippage between the words and the infinite complexities of a thought. As a writer, I find that frustrating, but as a social animal, I wouldn't have it any other way.

I will, till the day I die, be an advocate for the d-word: diversity.
