"I'm after something far more esoteric than a virginal shag. Though, if you'd like, darlin', I'm certainly up for the task."

Previous Quote

As much as I revere great writing, and am still humbled by it, literary activities are no longer esoteric to me. When I read a great novel - something that I could never have written myself - I'm still looking at it a little bit like a technician.
