The More You Lose, The More Is

I Have Two Homes, Like Someone Who Leaves Their Hometown And/or Parents And Then Establishes A Life Elsewhere. They Might Say That They're Going Home When They Return To See Old Friends Or Parents, But Then They Go Home As Well When They Go To Where They Live Now. Sarajevo Is Home, Chicago Is Home.

I Don't Believe In Inspiration. I Write When I Can't Avoid Writing Anymore.

I Wanted Us To Share The Sense That The Number Of Wrong Moves Far Exceeds The Number Of Good Moves, To Share The Frightening Instability Of The Correct Decision, To Bond In Being Confounded.

The Balls Do Not Make A Writer.

Sometimes I Don't Write At All. Someone Once Asked Me, "what Do You Do When You're Not Writing?" And I Said, "i Idle."
