I've Always Been Entranced With Theater.

I've Always Wanted To Be A Poet At The Beginning. I Would Look At My Grandparents' Books And My Parents' Books. And In My Family, A Typical Aspirational Jewish Family, Being A Writer Was Very Much Exalted, And It Seemed Impossible To Me, That I Could Ever Do Something Like That.

I'm Fascinated With Video Games, Though I Can't Really Play Them. It's Definitely An Art Form That Intrigues Me To No End, Though.

I Dont Walk Around Chuckling All The Time. My Outlook Is Very Bleak. Its Worse Than Bleak, Its Apocalyptic.

When You Are A Child, You Often Stare Too Closely At The Wrong Thing. I Remember The First Time I Was Taken To Yankee Stadium. Someone Had Spilled Something Sweet Earlier In The Day And The Ground Was Covered With Ants. I Spent The Whole Game Staring At The Ants, And That Was More Fascinating Than The Game.

I Think Of Memory As A Game, That Is As Something One Engages In With A Very Profound Kind Of "playfulness."
