When I go into schools to speak, I am not giving a speech - it's really a one-man show. I call it 'didactic standup.'

I feel like a very lucky person. From the time I was young, I had a dream of becoming a writer. Now that dream has come true, and I am able to make my living doing something I really love.

What I am really concerned about is what art is supposed to be - and can become.

I am slow of speech and slow of tongue.

I am a wife-made man.

When I am really angry, I clam up, go cold.
