I’m really suspicious of anybody who comes in and says, this is your identity now, or this is your belief system, and now that you have this, everything’s going to be great.  (Mat Johnson Quotes) My strong suit is that I’ve been willing to risk on the page to get somewhere interesting  (Mat Johnson Quotes) I look white to a lot of people. And I’m not. I’m African-American. I’m mixed. I like to call myself Mulatto because that definition fits.

The whole street demeanor is about pretending to be a sociopath as well so that the real ones can’t find you  (Mat Johnson Quotes) Forgiveness comes later in life, after you’ve created enough disasters of your own  (Mat Johnson Quotes) For some reason, people always assign high cheekbones to some ethnicity, but apparently by their regards, everybody on earth has high cheekbones. So I don’t know if that matters.  (Mat Johnson Quotes) I’ve been writing forever, 20 years  (Mat Johnson Quotes) My weak suit is whatever each reader hates about each book  (Mat Johnson Quotes) Everybody just gets on my nerves after like, 10 minutes, you know  (Mat Johnson Quotes) It is a great moment in every freak’s life when he or she finds out that at least they are not the only one  (Mat Johnson Quotes) I start with fear.

I want to bring it to the surface so I can banish it  (Mat Johnson Quotes) People aren’t social. They’re tribal. Race doesn’t exist, but tribes are real  (Mat Johnson Quotes) I love the idea of biracial. I actually don’t use the word biracial. I tend to use mixed. Biracial to me accentuates the word race, and, you know, I don’t really care for it  (Mat Johnson Quotes) For some reason, people always assign high cheekbones to some ethnicity, but apparently by their regards, everybody on earth has high cheekbones. So I don’t know if that matters  (Mat Johnson Quotes) I’m really suspicious of anybody who comes in and says, this is your identity now, or this is your belief system, and now that you have this, everything’s going to be great  (Mat Johnson Quotes)
