Noisey: You’ve lived in Spain for the several years. How often do you come to the States?
I’ve been coming to New York so much since last fall, more than in most years. I came to do RetroVirus and something with Weasel (Walter). I was working on a screenplay in Los Angeles back in March and now I'm back.

Do you feel detached living in Barcelona?
[Laughs] From what? You? From what? VICE? From what? Williamsfuckingburg? I don’t feel detached. Everyone comes through Barcelona. Did I feel detached in Pittsburgh? Only as detached as I wanted to be. I like to spend a lot of time alone. I like quiet. As a writer, one of my methods is to pace a lot, chew my fuckin’ inner lips, drink a lot of coffee, smoke cigarettes, sometimes do drugs, pace, pace, pace. Then, I sit down and do it. When I'm focusing on words, I need to spend a lot of time alone, and there's no place better to be alone than a city like Barcelona.

Do you like living anonymously?
Unless I walk the streets naked, I think I could live anonymously anywhere. Who should know me? I’m not that notorious. There are no wanted posters of my face. Why would anyone fuckin’ know me? You think I’m much more iconic that I am. Reality check: just a small chick with a big mouth who’s got more stamina than most people.

Will you ever move out of Spain?
I’m good in Spain for now. There’s still so much there. It’s such a contradiction—it’s so multi-dimensional. Its history is so perverted, between the Inquisition and Dada and Salvador Dali. There’s 3000 ghost towns, the architecture, the art, the history. It’s so contrarian within itself that it feels very comfortable. I’ve been going there since 1984. I spent summers there, weeks, weekends, and it’s always called to me for some reason. It has a joy for life and for someone that deals in the negative.

What runs through your mind when you come back here?
You suck. And I don’t mean you, Brad. But you suck. It’s kind of gross. I’m just gonna say it as it is. It’s gross.
