“I can think of plenty of writers whose work I revere and whose lives I know little about.”

I have way too much going on, as usual, but fortunately it’s all good stuff. I’m not complaining.

The modern media environment is so overrun with bullshit and static and people trying to sell you stupid crap. It makes you want to bite yourself.

I usually work seven days a week and rarely take vacations, which is both lame and unsustainable. I don’t mind the idea of writing seven days a week, I suppose. Getting some work done early in the morning. But ideally I would love to take one day a week off.

I’m a radio nerd. I’ve loved radio since I was a kid. I’m a huge Howard Stern fan.

I was very much in my room with my marionette stage, you know, creating these incredibly boring things that I felt were so fascinating, and forcing my relatives to come, and charging money for them to see my little productions.

My life has gotten a little more complicated than my ability to describe it. That used to be the definition of madness, now it’s just continuous overload.

When I’m into a woman, I literally can’t stop staring. I’m like a little kid. I become completely entranced.

Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.

I hope the poem, as it goes on, gets more complicated, a little more demanding, a little more ambiguous or speculative, so that we’re drifting away from the casual beginning of the poem into something a little more serious.

There is no dignity when the human dimension is eliminated from the person. In short, the problem with pornography is not that it shows too much of the person, but that it shows far too little.

I think the comedy clubs tend to homogenize the acts a little bit, because they force them to be palatable in way too many environments.

I like to say I’m geek-chic with a little bit of showgirl.I get asked it a lot, and it really does kind of sum it up.
