"Stories are the most important thing we humans can create."
"When we make the story more important than the result, the story has a chance to live. "
"A story finds its own proper way of announcing itself."
"The most humbling thing for me is when a reader thanks me beause my stories have actually helped them make sense of events or emotions in their own lives."
"People like big stories. You get unmatched bang for the buck writing stories. The bang in this case is being able to plant a big universe and a lot of powerful images inside a reader's head. The buck in this case is that there's one person working alone without needing any special tools. That's not going to change. They may be delivered in different ways, on e-readers or whatever, but they will be around for a long time."
"We know in our deep and private places that we have a responsibility to take on things that draw our attention and to turn them into these mysterious objects—poems and stories—that illuminate, that offer an objection to the status quo, that warn and empower."
