“The whole point is you're telling a story to an audience. So when there's no audience, it's like cinematic masturbation.”
“Being a geek is all about being honest about what you enjoy and not being afraid to demonstrate that affection. It means never having to play it cool about how much you like something. Itâ€™s basically a license to proudly emote on a somewhat childish level rather than behave like a supposed adult. Being a geek is extremely liberating.”

“I love New York, I love the smell of New York... I love the subway.”
“Burdens are the foundations of ease and bitter things the forerunners of pleasure.”
“One of the things I love most about second person is that it reminds the reader that they are reading a text. It doesn't allow them to drift into the story and not notice that they are reading a book - a book that has an author.”
“Unless in communicating with it one says exactly what one means, trouble is bound to result.”
