Mr. Breton didn't know about location, location, location.

The hatred of fat people, I think, is more modern. It's manufactured. It's a manifestation of the shabbier and cheaper side of culture, which is to say, advertising and skinny models on the beach hawking cigarettes and beer.

Hoboken is a neat place.

First of all, fat people are, in fact, funny. In the same way that there's something delightful about elephants standing on their hind legs and doing tricks for the circus. There's a kind of a joyousness to big, ponderous creatures.

Werewolves are much more common animals than you might think.

Writing and telling are almost the same, the way I do it.

I was always a chunky child. Early photos of me show not a particularly rotund little boy, but a substantial one. Just a hell of a sweet-looking kid.

I imagine a child. That child is me. I can reconstruct and vividly remember portions of my own childhood. I can see, taste, smell, feel, and hear them. Then what I do is, not write about that kid or about his world, but start to think of a book that would have pleased him.

I'd always liked to write, but I never wanted to be a writer, because it seemed a sissy occupation. It is. To this day, I find it terribly easy. And so, rather than trying to hunt up a text, I just wrote one.

I sort of always like to write starting with when I learned how.

Well you know, it's true that as a fat person I run a greater risk of heart disease, diabetes, and a number of other things. But guess what? The amount of that risk is almost infinitessimal!

The fat men come back in Slaves of Spiegel, to be reprinted next year in an anthology from Farrar, Straus, and Giroux.

Fat hatred has become a little more vicious as other groups have excused themselves from being the butts of these cruelties. I think people really couldn't care less about the issue; they just see you as a defenseless person. It's not about fat; it can't be about fat. Fat is too trivial for it to be about.

I wrote a fat sex scene that begins in the hot dog stand and winds up in the bathtub in her apartment, where she uses this secret blend of spices to flavor the bathwater.

Read a lot. Write a lot. Have fun.

I went to college, but I learned to write by reading - and writing.

All my books were easy to write - doesn't it show?

Some women have said, 'Gee, here I am getting involved with this fat guy, what will people think of me?' But they were converted and sometimes surprised.
