Rachel Kushner

I don't think a woman riding a motorcycle thinks of herself as doing something that has sex appeal. I think she's trying to replicate for herself an experience that she sees men having.

I usually get up between 7 A.M. and 8 A.M., have coffee, and go right to work. It's really important not to get sidetracked in the morning so I'm still in that dreamy state for my writing.

Subject matter is sort of overemphasized in the way books get discussed, I think.

I really like Jeff Lewis and 'Flipping Out' and 'Interior Therapy.' I don't know why I'm obsessed with American real estate and renovation.

I have a naturally camp sensibility and a camp sense of humour. I love the icons that gay people love.

I am happy to the spokeswoman for this French youth that tomorrow will be spearhead new hope in the shape of the National Front.
