“I don’t experience life as a story and when I do, I feel very queasy about it. My life does not have a narrative arc. Things happen and you respond to them, but I don’t experience life as a story." 

"I’m an experimental artist because I like that thrill of ‘This has never happened before.’" 

"I’m drawn to revolution because people work with each other in different ways. I would rather be part of a revolution than in a party." 

"When you’re stuck [creatively], just try to do the worst thing you could possibly do. Write the worst story, paint the worst picture. It’ll have a lot of energy in it […] and you’re not worried about it."
