"To exist in the swoon, to be shapeless, genreless, to eat the placenta, to get shit in your eyebrows … now you are really in trouble. To get a ISBN number, your publisher must check off your genre. To go genreless means you can’t be sold. To be placed in the Library of Congress catalog you must similarly fulfill a genre. To be genreless means you can’t be entered into the record. To apply for a berth at the AWP conference, you must check off to which genre your talk pertains. To go genreless means you cannot speak. To apply for a job you must establish your competency at genre. To go genreless is to expose incompetency."

"But there's no such thing as everything. He's telling us that the play is about un-attainability; it's about necessary failure; it's about the importance of creative impotence; it's about the subjective untruth of truth; it's about attempting to locate meaning in anything but the perpetual attempt to locate meaning. A virtue must be made of incompleteness. The self should not be escaped but rather structured into something inherently meaningful, something of ordered open-endedness, something that maneuvers its boundless possibilities as it strives toward no end beyond open-endedness itself."

"One day in the winter of 2003, I sent my first of many letters to the Pacific Ocean. Within two weeks it was returned with heavy pen marks negating the address and a black stamp that read: “Return to Sender: no such place exists." I then sent another letter with more specific directions and two weeks later it was returned again with the same markings. For the last five years, I have sent a letter to the Pacific Ocean every day. I currently have about 1100 returned letters and I use this project as a daily journal."

"I'm not really into the plot. For conventional fiction, when you read a novel, the first thing someone asks is, "Oh, what's it about?" I really don't care what a book is about. I'm interested more in the artistry. What's the language like? What technical devices are going on? I compare this to ballet and opera. When you go see and opera or ballet based on Romeo and Juliet, you're not going for the story. You already know the story. You're going for the artistic performance: the dancers' abilities, the singers' abilities. When I read a novel, that's pretty much what I'm going for: metaphoric language, imagery, interesting structural devices, humor. That's something I appreciate in a novel; that's why I use it myself. I'm going for the artistry, not for the story."
