• Rather than thinking of sound and sense in my essays as two opposing principles, two perpendicular trajectories, as they are often considered in conversations around translation, or even as two disassociated phenomena that can be brought together to collaborate with more or less success, I think of sound as sense. Sound has its own meaning, and it's one of the many non-semantic dimensions of meaning in language. I want to emphasize is the formal dynamic between language-as-information and language-as-art-material.

• I've always been interested in the principle of the fractal, which is typified by self-similarity across scale, which both puts a lot of pressure on a specific viewer's perspective and opens up the number of "correct" viewing positions infinitely, in this way thwarting the power-related implications of traditional, Renaissance single-point perspective.

• Si estás profundamente implicado en un acontecimiento, formas parte de él. Pero si estás fuera de él, desinteresado, eres la mirada que registra la historia. Y ese desinterés es diferente de la objetividad. La mirada objetiva sólo ve el acontecimiento, mientras que la desinteresada participa a la vez que mira creando ese vínculo con la historia. Es un tipo de visión que está a la vez dentro y fuera del acontecimiento, que aporta a la visión la capacidad de la emoción humana, de la compasión, pero la mantiene abierta. La objetividad excluye el elemento humano y, por tanto, no es un punto de vista abierto a los humanos.

• Being in unfamiliar places has no effect on my writing, except that it often means I'm caught up in the logistics of travel, the places and people on the spot, etc., etc., which can mean that I don't have the time to write. But I try, wherever I am, to take a couple of hours in the early evening to go off and write. Because I never write from personal experience, per se, where I am makes no difference except for this element of available time.

• At the end of any of my project I miss the material. I pick subjects I love and then get very engaged with them, so stopping that engagement often feels odd and arbitrary, but there's a moment when I don't want to change anything else and when the shape and length feels right. At that point, continuing would be destructive.
