I steeled myself against laughter I would rather die than laugh. I didn’t laugh, I did not laugh. But I died, I did die.

I don't tally the world, asking, Would this annoy you? Would this annoy you? That's so far removed from where I'm at when I'm in the trenches struggling with how to express things that I don't fully understand myself.

The job of the artist is to point at things.

It was a tiny sound but it woke me up because it was a human sound.

There's always the sense that you should strike while the iron's hot and while there are all these opportunities, but that's not the way I get ideas. It has to be more organic, building up through living and through experiencing things.

I've always been terrified of getting used to something that is actually killing me-a relationship or a job. But in those cases, you can count on a friend to say something. The Internet is different, because all my friends are in the same relationship.

The word God asks a question and then answers it before there is any chance to wonder.

… it wasn’t pretend, I wasn’t in a fairytale or a fable. I shut my eyes and absorbed the silent whoomp that always accompanies this revelation. It’s the sound of the real world, gigantic and impossible, replacing the smaller version of reality that I wear like a bonnet, clutched tightly under my chin.

I think because I write so many short stories, it's not that hard to come up with characters that are not me.

I guess like any writer or screenwriter I'm alone in my own world so much of the time that I'm often trying to force myself out of my world. Into more risk. A less controlled kind of inspiration. I'm so keenly aware of how easy it's getting to not leave the house, with Amazon, especially.
