"One of my favorite things about illustration is getting to delve into a writer's 'world.'"
"I just held up the book and I said, 'This is my point. The book is my point.' It's my artistic expression I'm trying to communicate to you. I don't know what I'm communicating, I'm making art. I want to turn you on somehow and I hope you communicate back with me. That's it. That's my point. I'm not trying to push an agenda on anybody. That's for politics. That's for essays. That's for standing on a soap box."
"I don't care about quotation marks and directing the reader and making things easy for the reader. I don't want my fiction to be an example of the MFA style of 'show, don't tell,' of giving the reader a window onto reality, of lending a sense of transparency to the prose. Stylistically, I wanted something dense, image-heavy, and digressive, because I like those things."
