I suppose I am interested in the variety of human life - how people live. I am most interested in individuals and how they respond to challenges or to difficulties or just to each other. I am curious about people.

I am most interested in people and the human form.

My primary interest has always been about exploring the human psyche and humanity.

What interests me are the complexities and contradictions and struggles and joys of messy human beings.

I find it endlessly interesting, endlessly funny, the fact that we're rather arbitrarily divided up into these discrete humans and that your physical self, your physical attributes, your moment of history and the place where you were born determine who you are as much as all that indefinable stuff that's inside of you.

I've always been interested in art, architecture, color.

What interests me is trying to catch the reflection of the human being on the page. I'm interested in how ordinary people live their lives.

I look at life, the experiences I've had, at the human condition, the dynamics between people, the news (world news), and draw from the compelling realities all around us.

One of the things that I'm fascinated about generally is the rise and fall of everything, from civilizations to families to companies.

I really like to go for the essence of things - the most beautiful parts of things - of human beings or of music. If there are things in there that are getting in the way and complicating it, it's just not good for me.
