What you possess is not what you jingle in the pockets of your memory, but the imaginings with which you fill the spaces of the future.

Irony is the hygiene of the mind.

Oh, youth is a wicked, cruel thing - eating miracles with its breakfast and not knowing they are not porridge.

Lying, stealing, and cheating are commonplace.

I'm quite content to spend my life helping young people find themselves. I've had my fill of politics.

Most of my work has no conventional narrative, so it's not essential to have a beginning and an end - your attention can flow in and out of the experience rather than having a set entry point.
