More From Miranda July

A manager sets objectives - a manager organizes - a manager motivates and communicates - a manager, by establishing yardsticks, measures - a manager develops people.
People Yardsticks Communicate
There questions of wanting to be an artist, and what does that mean, what makes you an artist? are you an artist if you're in a gallery in new york and not an artist if you're doing it at home? do you need legitimation to count? if you've been acculturated to believe that you have certain obligations - familial, social, human - if multitasking has been your forte and that's what's been praised and rewarded, where do you find the single-mindedness, the selfishness to do something like art? i think those are questions that arise differently for women and for men.
Art Believe Home
There is nothing to be known about anything except an initially large, and forever expandable, web of relations to other things. everything that can serve as a term of relation can be dissolved into another set of relations, and so on for ever. there are, so to speak, relations all the way down, all the way up, and all the way out in every direction: you never reach something which is not just one more nexus of relations.
Forever Way Speak
With respect to love we speak continually about perfection and the perfect person. with respect to love christianity also speaks continually about perfection and the perfect person. alas, but we men talk about finding the perfect person in order to love him. christianity speaks about being the perfect person who limitlessly loves the person he sees.
Men Order Perfect
The city's the best gallery i could imagine. i would never have to make a book and then present it to a gallery and let them decide if my work was nice enough to show it to people. i would control it directly with the public in the streets.

You've probably heard about the theory of steam-engine time - that even after the steam engine had been invented, it had to wait until people were ready to make use of it. the same thing happens in literary circles. the truth is, i'm not terribly interested in victorian times; i'm interested in victorian writers. i'm interested in most eras of history, but not the victorian era especially. i was interested in the john franklin expedition. i was interested in these last five weird years of dickens' life. and i just have to take the age that comes with all that when i write about it.

I think my very earliest stories were all intellectual exercises and i was writing from experiences i had never had about characters who were about an inch deep.

I'm still very much in the apprentice stage of writing. i read somewhere that you need to write a million words before you know what you're doing - so i'm headed that way, but i'm nowhere near there.
