As A Person, I'm Anti-violence.

We're Like A Gardener With A Hose And Our Attention Is Water - We Can Water Flowers Or We Can Water Weeds.

It Really Shocks Me When I Encounter People Who Think Kindness Doesn't Matter. Because I Think It's Pretty Much The Only Thing That Matters.

The Purpose Of Fiction Is To Combat Loneliness.

I Have Really Good Female Friends. I've Never Bought The Whole Men-and-women-can't-be-friends Thing. I Think That's Sort Of Nonsense.

I Remember The First Day I Was Looking At My Hands And I Thought About My Nails. People Wouldn't Really Be Paying Attention To That, But A Civil War Doctor - What Would They Be Doing With Their Nails? Would They Cut Them Really Low? And Dr. Burns Said, "no, They Would Let Them Grow Out So They Can Scoop Stuff Out. They Would Use Their Nails." So For A While I Let My Nails Grow. They Were Too Long. I Kept Stabbing Myself By Accident, So I Cut Them Down, But I Was Trying To Be Faithful To The Details.
