Michael Chabon

I abandoned my second novel completely. Writing 'Kavalier & Clay,' I had several moments of utter collapse. Same with 'The Yiddish Policemen's Union.'

What's going to be hard for me is to try to divorce myself as much as possible from what I wrote. I'll have to approach it simply as raw material and try to craft a film script out of it.

I was thinking, too, of Superman and his fortress of solitude.

If every time you engage in a sex act, you go into a confession box, you will never accept your own sexuality.

I am thrilled to get the chance to write comics - and to tell Forgotten Realms tales, to boot!

I believe in glamour. I am in favor of a little vanity. I don't rely on just my genes.
