I Think Of Memory As A Game,

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 Have An Enduring, Very Robust Infatuation With Dictators. I Have An Infatuation With Stalin, Mao, And Mussolini. In The Paris Review Interview I Did (in 2013), I Said My Next Book, This One, Was Going To Be About Mussolini. I Wound Up Only Having A Mussolini Cameo In The Book.

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

I Guess I Can Picture Things Once They're Done - I Just Can't Picture Actually Doing Them.

In Me, Speaking Psychologically, There Is Always An Ongoing Struggle Between My Enormously Self-regarding, Almost Delusionally Aspirational, Napoleonic Personality And A Marginalized One.
