Miranda July

It's amazing how little you can see people but still stay in regular contact.

I think this is how life is. It's not a linear march through time; you revolve around the same old things as you age and acquire experiences.

I'm not embarrassed about not having read any book.

I am a big fan of work in any medium that can take on death - being dead, being a soul - in a new way.

There's no law against asking strangers about their lives and feelings, although sometimes it really feels like there is.

Long before I started to write in earnest, Lorrie Moore taught me you could have a woman narrator who was funny and complex and even wrongheaded. She opened up a lot of space that me and a million other women rushed into.
