Marni Scofidio
I don't believe in inspiration. Like a grain of sand in an oyster, my primary muse is irritation. If I was happy all the time I'd never bother to write a word. Once I start, the feebleness of the first draft is always a shock. Little flashes of 'actually, that's not so bad' draw me into revision, where the gap between vision and reality shrinks.
