Maybe then you’d knowhow much I like you. It shakes...

I think you should know that real-life white people are not all as funny as the ones on ‘Seinfeld’.

When we tell little white lies, we become progressively color-blind. It is better to remain silent than to mislead.

Inform our dreams. They bury...

Basically, I’m in a kilt and a white shirt every day. So, you know, I don’t have a lot of scope, and I’m really picky about what I wear. Even if it’s weird, it’s very particular to me. And you can’t make a business out of what I would wear. We’d be out of business.

Outside the window, there slides past that unimaginable and deserted vastness where night is coming on, the sun declining in ghastly blood-streaked splendour like a public execution across, it would seem, half a continent, where live only bears and shooting stars and the wolves who lap congealing ice from water that holds within it the...

I am Ecuadorian but people felt so safe passing me off as a skinny, blue-eyed white girl.
