Stewart O'Nan

I've always been a big reader.

The story is always in service to the characters, and is only as long or short, or neat or ragged as it needs to be.

You can't run from your roots.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

I know I'm not the kind of person who's gonna wind up a walking jukebox, like many rock 'n' roll artists. They just play their hits and that's it. That doesn't appeal to me.

I was watching TV and saw people with masks, weapons, and grenades. I thought, Is that really possible? Could we be here yet again? And go into civil war one more time?
