 "I have a history with Oregon, because my daughter went to Reed for two years. When she transferred back to the University of Southern Maine, she had a car, and she asked me if I would drive it back across the country. I said that I would, and I came out here, and I stayed at the Heathman
Hotel, and I couldn't sleep. In the course of that night, I thought, Maybe I have insomnia. That idea occurred to me; that was the kernel of that idea, and I worked it out in the book."
 "Portland and Seattle [are underrated eating destinations in the United States]. They come to mind first, on the basis of the incredible cook scene. The chefs and cooks are really jacked up. They're ambitious and proud with very high standards and strong ideas about what they want to do. And of course the ingredients are amazing here."
 "I'm not the most social person, but Portland seems socially efficient to me. Right away, I meet someone. The next week, I meet someone who knows that person. And all kinds of people: writers, painters, small business owners, people that work at Nike, whatever. That matters quite a bit to me. I find people here."
