I Think Of Memory As A Game,

When I Started, I Wanted To Be Thought Of As Tortured And Seductive, Not Funny, But Humor Tends To Be A Reflexive Part Of A Person's Sensibility. It's An Almost Impossible Thing To Teach Anyone, Which Leads Me To Believe That It's Intuitive.

My Idea With My Work Is Always To Fashion Something That's Impossible To Transpose Into Any Other Media.

I Dont Walk Around Chuckling All The Time. My Outlook Is Very Bleak. Its Worse Than Bleak, Its Apocalyptic.

As Far As What I Do, My Value As A Writer Is Certainly Not To Try To Recapitulate A 19th Century Form. Certain Styles Of Narrative Don't Conform To My Style Of Experiencing The World.

I Think Of Memory As A Game, That Is As Something One Engages In With A Very Profound Kind Of "playfulness."
