I think it's fair to say more adultery goes on in hotels than any other place in the world.

One of the few luxuries left is travel. And the aspect of travel that is luxurious is not the movement, but the being there.

All good hotels tend to lead people to do things they wouldn't necessarily do at home.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.

Being in a floodplain is like sitting down in a bathtub.

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.
