“Reading a Lydia Davis story collection is like reaching into what you think is a bag of potato chips and pulling out something else entirely: a gherkin, a pepper corn, a truffle, a piece of beef jerky.”

“I procrastinate all morning. That's when I get my office work done and answer e-mails and see what's on the Internet and do laundry.”

“I wanted to write a food book, but I'm not a chef or an expert on culinary matters, to put it mildly.”

“Sci-fi has never really been my bag. But I do believe in a lot of weird things these days, such as synchronicity. Quantum physics suggests it's possible, so why not?”

“I've always loved when girls carry their wallets as a clutch instead of a bag.”

“My basics are black, white, or neutral, and I'll wear a ton of jewelry or carry a brightly colored bag.”
