We haven't really found out how to be people online. #SALZevin

I think I have a very healthy relationship with technology. #SALZevin

We do need our artists to depict the world and not the world with blinders on. #SALZevin

I wanted to fully write about the world as I saw it. #SALZevin

I would rather that you depict me and get it wrong than only depict a world with only one kind of person. #SALZevin

Games are not monolithic. #SALZevin

Privilege is positional - it isn't fixed. #SALZevin

In the three characters, we see people who have very different financial situations. So much of what you are able to make as an artists depends on your financial situations. #SALZevin

For me, so much of the book was about class. #SALZevin

I felt, with each book, I could feel that mask just slipping off. #SALZevin

Novelists chronicle the way people and society changes throughout time. #SALZevin

When you are young, time moves very slowly but when you get better, you get more perspective. #SALZevin

In an imperfect world, it is still worth it to love people and create things. #SALZevin

I find it quite a challenge sometimes to be a thinking person and an optimist. #SALZevin

All the books you write, all the things you do, build on the failures. #SALZevin

There are reasons to make things that aren't always to attract the biggest audience. Sometimes you are creating for an audience of one. #SALZevin

I wanted to show all the ways in which people might fail even after achieving success. #SALZevin

But really, the book is about failure. #SALZevin

A healthy body is an illusion. #SALZevin
