At Salon: You’re pretty accomplished as a long-form magazine writer. You’re kind of “the guy.” Do you ever think, “Maybe I’m complacent here. Maybe I should be writing books or movies, something where I don’t have that confidence”?
Yeah, I’ve put my hand at, done some fiction on the side. I don’t think it’s good enough yet to do anything with, but I’ve hammered away at that. I’ve played around with a screenplay. So it’s not a matter of not exploring different forms. Decent chance I will, at some point. At this point I’ve just been enjoying this so much. I’m kind of waiting for the moment to feel like I don’t like doing this. Each story feels new and different, so I’ve kind of trusted that feeling. But I’m open to other possibilities down the road at some point. Who knows.
