I'm very fond of this phrase: 'Collage is not a refuge for the compositionally disabled.' If you put together the pieces in a really powerful way, I think you'll let a thousand discrepancies bloom.

Collage is not a kitchen sink; it's not a refuge for the compositionally disabled.

I think there are people who are born storytellers. I think of someone like T. C. Boyle or Gabriel Garcia Marquez. I think really, without putting any pejorative on it, they're like carnival barkers, 'Come into the tent, and I'll tell you this story.'

All good books wind up, I think, with the writer getting his teeth bashed in.

It hasn't been a problem with Ben, I think we worked together very well, we don't have rows.
