I've never really thought of writing books. I've never thought about stories as a part of a collection.

I had no thought of being a writer. I never wanted to do anything. I'm tremendously lazy.

One of the amazing things about writing fiction is that you do get to be other people.

To be interested in short stories, you have to be interested in fiction as an art form.

I like the eclipses, the synaptic jumps of short stories. The reader has to participate very actively in the experience.

I would like to never ever think about any political issues.
