“Čuvao sam ih za onog koji će jednom doći i poželjeti da ih vidi. Ne znam zašto sam to činio. Možda samo zato što netko mora. Činilo mi se da je zbog nečega jako važno da to netko čuva. Mislio sam, doći će netko i vidite, više nema što da se čuva... i sad kad ste došli, mogu mirno umrijeti.. vi ćete bar reći nekom drugom da ovo postoji, da je ovdje nešto bilo, pa i ako ne ostanete vi sami, ljudi će se sjetiti, doći će netko drugi, vratit će se, i možda sve opet jednom oživi, možda sve opet bude... pa nije valjda cijeli svijet samo propadanje, rušenje, mrtvačnica kao ovdje, valjda se negdje nešto obnavlja, gradi, čuva, valjda ljudi još uvijek...

“A novel is like a mountain. Like Mount Rainier. You ever seen Mount Rainier? It's like you're looking at God. It's so gorgeous and dynamic and powerful and meaningful. Then as you walk toward it, Things change. At one point, it's not even a mountain anymore. There's an incline, but you don't see the whole thing. There are different levels. When you get to the top, you look out from the mountain and it's just as majestic because now you're looking from God's point of view. So the novel is a mountain. Now, the short story is an island --- some trees and a beach and a little creature running around. You go on the island, but then you realize that underneath it is a mountain, but it's just underwater, so you never see it. You have to describe the whole mountain, but only from the point of view of that island. Whatever detritus gets washed up, whatever the weather is there, whatever is happening underneath, you have to somehow give that to the reader without making it explicit.”

“...el Día Uno es todo el primer momento de tu vida en el cual estás atravesado por las instituciones y aprendés, en el mejor de los casos, a desconfiar de ellas, mientras dejás que tejan hilos firmes, en tu cráneo, con la intención de no dejar espacios vacíos: los agujeros del sistema [...] El Día Dos empieza y su amanecer es plateado, con una nueva y no menos firme institución que son las sustancias, legales o ilegales, y algún tipo de pretensión, o nada. En los dos casos, todos los días son el mismo.”
