“I like art that challenges you and makes a lot of people angry because they don't get it. Because they refuse to look at it properly.

If you have contempt about contemporary art, you are stupid. You can be the most uneducated person in the world and completely appreciate contemporary art, because you see the rebellion. You see that it's trying to change things.”

“I want to view my own efforts to write a novel as a function of my own artistic aspirations rather than a good career move. And I need to learn how to commit to characters for a longer time, to confront the limits of my own capacities for attention and compassion.

Unfortunately, America specializes in cover-ups.”
