I'm not trying to do conceptual art.

If you look at the publishers I’ve worked with, generally, they’re a great bunch. Creation is unlike any other publishing house you can think of. The people I’ve worked with have integrity and intelligence and, almost always, less money than ideas.

Further, for once, I like the idea that people who think I’m a constant voice for the furthering of the imagination have to see that interest in a more materialistic fashion.

Further, I’m obsessed with how language contorts and creates bodies.

I don’t sell enough books to pay for the lawyers, however. And these various problems finally became too much.

I don’t publish the books to make money, not at all.

In the past the publishers I’ve worked with have been extremely generous. And in almost every case, have been people who believed in the work rather than the sales and marketing.

Writing is the one art form that really should allow you to hang yourself.

My introduction to the Brady book was an attempt to nail the exact same idea since Brady addressed the point. And since I write pornography, naturally, something of an obsession for me.
