I always wanted to write something illustrated, and the Details strip finally gave me the opportunity.

The process of composition, messing around with paragraphs and trying to make really good prose, is hardwired into my personality.

I suppose I should say that I treasure blasphemy, as a faith of the highest order.

I have worked really hard to defy categorization, to break down a taxonomy whenever it comes my way.

I turned forty, and I'm finally going to get married and maybe have a kid.

In my style, the idea is that it's more ornate because that's what consciousness is.

Nonfiction that uses novelistic devices and strategies to shape the work. That's material that I really like.

There is no right or wrong reading of Naked Lunch, though some readings are more common, and thus Burroughs' commercial is not the issue.

It was more that I wanted to depict the narrator, me, in the moment of apprehending how gigantic the veil could be as a symbol, as a motivating force in the book.

Maybe when I'm sixty-five I'll talk about my literary life.

I'm trying to stay close to language first and foremost and make sure that the paragraphs sing, that it sounds like music to me.

But that incessant drive to be out there in the literary universe that was important to me when I was in my twenties, like going to a Paris Review party or whatever, that seems totally irrelevant now.

What genre it falls under is only of interest later.

I'm trying to make sure that there's comedy as well as sadness. It makes the sadness more memorable.

You're probably right that it's inclination, just part of how I am, but it's also true that I have this fairly astringent worldview.

Literature precedes genre.

I didn't know how to kill off a character unless I was able, as a narrator, to get really complicated. Because it was a big deal. I'd never killed a character before.

I can tell you all about the psychiatric hospital, but talking about the making of The Ice Storm movie... it makes me really uncomfortable.

I'm trying to read more dead people because I keep having to read stuff for juries and so forth.
