"We all live this screaming sort of solitude, and I have an image of language as a sort of lifeline. There's the part of me that always wants to turn and say "Did you see that? Didn't you see that?" I use language as a way to feel less alone with the constant, intense and beautiful and humorous and ridiculous experiences that I have."
