I just noticed recently that in one book after another I seem to find an excuse to find some character who, to put it idiotically simply, is allowed to talk crazy.

It was good while it was good.

I don't paint anymore. I haven't since I abandoned it at 19, in order to begin writing seriously.

Discomfort is very much part of my master plan.

I learned to write fiction the way I learned to read fiction - by skipping the parts that bored me.

I keep one simple rule that I only move in one direction - I write the book straight through from beginning to end. By following time's arrow, I keep myself sane.

The book is openly a kind of spiritual autobiography, but the trick is that on any other level it's a kind of insane collage of fragments of memory.

I grew up with an artist father, and my parents' friends were also mainly artists or writers, so he connects what I do with his example.

I got into underground comics fairly early on and kind of wandered away from the superhero stuff, but I was an art student and I was drawing a lot as a kid.

I've never related to the work geek at all-it sounds much more horrible than nerd. Like a freak biting a chicken's head off in a sideshow.
