Nothing
"Where we come from in America no longer signifies. It's where we go, and what we do when we get there, that tells us who we are."
Change
"Obviously the imagination is fueled by emotions beyond the control of the conscious mind."
Creativity
"I feel very transparent in myself. I'm more of an observer. I'm interested in what's going on. I'm not sure that I really have a personality. Some people think I do have a personality. I have a personality when I am with certain people - but when I'm not with them I don't have that personality. I just sort of go back to resembling a transparent glass of water."

Reflection
"I'm drawn to write about upstate New York in the way in which a dreamer might have recurring dreams.

So this part of New York state is very familiar to me and, with its economic difficulties, has become emblematic of much of American life."
Culture

All these great discoveries of our time - without the desire to reach beyond our boundaries, we would be forever stagnant. The folly is in closing one's eyes and not recognizing it."
Art
"When you are writing literary writing, you are communicating something subtextual with emotions and poetry. The prose has to have a voice; it's not just typing. It takes a while to get that voice."
