I'm very interested in language because it reflects our obsessions and ways of conceptualising the world.

I have abused language. I love it, and I abuse it... I don't write just to be clever. But sometimes I do. And if you don't have an understanding of the language, then the way in which it's bent doesn't actually register.

I just love language. I mean, I love it. I love stage directions. Any opportunity to write. I hadn't written in so long, I get very crazy and miserable. I - it's like not seeing my kids: I can't do it for very long.

I've always been in love with language. My favorite book is a dictionary. I have always loved words.

I have an acquired taste for language, yet it is seldom an actual focus of mine.

Well, language seems to be something that obsesses me. I'm always writing about it.

In our generation, everybody told us that it's really important and it's nice to be able to speak a lot of languages. It's an art, too. It really impresses me, people who speak, like, seven languages. I admire them so much, so I began with English, and then Spanish and maybe Portuguese.

Language is an intrinsic part of who we are and what has, for good or evil, happened to us.
