quotes
 
authorship
 
i accept the whole roland barthes idea of the death of the author. people are going to bring their own body of knowledge, their own experience, to whatever. it is possibly going to be, for them, something in contradiction to what it was for you. i can't control that, so I won't even worry about it

subjectivity
 
the most honest story is a story where you know who is telling the story, a first-person narrative. but, we have a national resistance to first-person narrative because it tends to be self-aggrandizing and self-involved. so, ideally, there's a style where you can write first-person narrative but you can hide the 'i' and get rid of the 'i' on the page as many times as possible. so, you have the honesty of first-person, but it's a detached first-person

spectacle
 
i don't even really like to meet a writer whose work i like, because, in a way, i think the work is the best part of them. and meeting them is always somewhat of a disappointment

brad pitt said it really well once. he said failure is integral to success, because it's only when you fail and people start ignoring you that you have the privacy to reinvent yourself. it's only when you get out of the public eye that you can go back to work

gear, flow
 
it's that old thing about god being present when two or more people are together. there is an insight that only happens when you are out in the community, and that's why I write everywhere but at home.. it is only when we are out of comfort and stressed that our mind works in an untypical way and suddenly we're not thinking in the efficient, streamlined, conventional way and we have this access.. carl jung, his whole study of synchronicity and inspiration, proposed that we normally think out of our rational, reasoning left brain and it's only when we're stressed or sick and emotionally upset or sleep-deprived or something like that that we literally have instants of thinking out of our intuitive, creative, instinctual right brain. and it's during those moments that we have access to our collective, universal subconscious archetypes, and we might have access to a deeper, more commonly held knowledge

creativity
 
when I write, i don't want a character controlled by circumstances. i want a character that is creating their circumstances. i don't want an innocent character thrust into the world and they are pushed around by inescapable forces.. you need to be a little more pro-active. we're more and more aware of our responsibility in the matter. we don't accept victims as easily"
