I don't like to think of my readership as 'fans,' a word which has always suggested a kind of power relationship I'm uncomfortable with.

You know, funny is this weird word for me. I hear is so many times it has no meaning anymore.

I don't like to use the word 'fans;' I call them 'Dick Dale music lovers.'

Sometimes I know the meaning of a word but am tired of it and feel the need for an unfamiliar, especially precise or poetic term, perhaps one with a nuance that flatters my readership's exquisite sensitivity.

I constantly deal with being called Shaft, and I vacillate back and forth with people coming up to me about it. But it never ceases to blow me away with the impact that character had on my life and my fans' lives.

I coined a word the other day, but I forgot what it was. It was a good one, it came to me in a dream.

My vocabulary is vast and expert, and I don't think I overuse any word.

There's nothing more frustrating than when fans use a nickname. That's like people you don't know using names from people that you're intimate with. Like if my mom has a nickname and a fan finds it out and starts using it, that's creepy.

There are so many unbelievable words... But that doesn't mean I have a favorite word.
