Quotes

  • When I started writing, it was a way to understand my own adolescence, and what came out was a revelation about my own teenage years...
  • Nonfiction is supposed to drive home a point. In fiction, you need more nuance, buried in layers. There is character development and plot, and that switch can be tricky. I really like writing short stories, and I wish they were more popular...
