• I've always liked making things that don't deny the medium that they're made in. If it's collage, I'm happy for it to look like that.

• I think that the church in America today is so obsessed with being practical, relevant, helpful, successful, and perhaps well-liked that it nearly mirrors the world itself. Aside from the packaging, there is nothing that cannot be found in most churches today that could not be satisfied by any number of secular programs and self-help groups.

• One of the problems in the United States is the refusal on the part of our young people to remember or to want to remember, or to recognize the experiences of the past as being relevant, germane, important to the present and to the future. They simply don't want anything that's painful. They want to live in a painless society where everything is pleasant, and everything is joyful.

There are important issues facing the south that I believe should be raised in the stories to make them contemporary, believable, and relevant to today's readers.
