"Narrative is Power. I realized this as soon as I started writing...uttering these eternally recombined letters I had at my disposal. Words were turning me into a monster. When someone asked me are you The Aleph or The Beta I would say 'I am the Alpha'. Then I would create a new place for my words to live and this place became Alphaville. But Alphaville was also a person who occasionally went by the name Ms. A."

"Abe, I hate to destroy your chain of thought here, but I'm the one who created Ms. A. And she isn't a place or a person. She's a thing. A scrambled love code that's got you dreaming of me."
