- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Brunt

- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a bit of an expert on anger, having suffered from it all through my youth, when I was both brunt and font. It's certainly the most miserable state to be in but it's also tremendously gratifying, really - rage feels justified.

I find I often just fall into a stone-like sleep, right in the middle of the day, just sort of clonk. I can't work for extended periods when I'm beginning something. But if I'm at the end of something, I can work on for hours and hours and hours.
- Never

- Like
- |

- Paper
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I'm a very spoiled writer. I need to be indolent, to waste a lot of paper. I'm inefficient.
- Being

- Nov 07, 2020

- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I had written a story. I wrote the story out of some desperation, really, and I didn't know I was writing a story, and it took me years. And when I finished, a friend of mine had the idea that the story should be read as a monologue in a theater.
- Me

- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
Of course I want to have a deliciously seductive story on the surface which will keep people engaged and amused, but primarily, I'm interested in other things. It's the texture of any given moment that fascinates me: what is really going on between people or in somebody's mind.

Fiction is a report from the interior.
- Die
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
