I missed this interview with Grant Morrison when it came out a couple months ago… must have been moving, couch surfing, or running around naked and green at Burning Man.
The Architect scene in “Matrix: Reloaded” – that was hard to understand. I kept thinking where was Dane McGowan to say, “EY! What the FUCK are you ON about, Sigmund?”

Morrison has mentioned in interviews before that this is some of his favorite work.

One of the best interviews I’ve read with Grant Morrison has been published by Sequential Tart.
Perhaps I’m unnaturally attuned to unreal worlds and characters. At an important time in my life, between the ages of 12 and 19, I was practically autistic at home. I had a lot of fun at a boys school during the day but evenings were grim beyond Morrissey’s most rueful yodellings, spent huddled in our flat above the Finefare, drawing my own homemade comic books and writing fantasy novels with cock in hand (see Flex Mentallo #3 ). I believe utterly in the ‘reality’ of fictional characters and assume that they all exist independently of my imagination with needs and requirements of their own, like Buddhist tulpa thoughtforms. I’ve always felt that my best writing is more like channeling the voices and adventures of real characters doing this stuff in a real place – the comic as it exists in the future perhaps. Call me crazy if you like but it’s working very well for me so I’m unlikely to be convinced at this stage that my conclusions are mistaken.

Here’s a great sub-site from a Jorge Luis Borges site with analysis of Borges’ influence on numerous writers, including: Grant Morrison, William Gibson, Joyce Carol Oates, Neil Gaiman, Harlan Ellison, Umberto Eco and others.
Morrison: I had a dream where I was on a train going through a horrible bone-like station. The name on the platform said “Orqwith,” so I’d thought I’d use it. Also, part of this dream was that this fictitious world was infiltrating parts of itself into our world. But like you say, it’s got a lot to do with stealing work of a blind Argentinian writer.
AH: I’m afraid I stopped reading after “The Garden of Forking Paths.”
Morrison: So you haven’t finished Labyrinths?
AH: I did read ‘”Tlon, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius” and the one about Don Quixote.
Morrison: I think he’s wonderful. I just have baths in this sort of thing. That was one of the things I wanted to Introduce in Doom Patrol. All those strange paradoxes and philosophical curios.

There’s a new interview with Grant Morrison over at Pop Image (which is a pretty cool comic book site BTW, with online comics by Warren Ellis, Bendis, and others).
You can also check out Morrison’s New X-Men at Newsarama. Morrison will be bringing technocculture to the world’s most popular comic series. There are also a lot of comments from him and his fellow X crew and previews to Peter Milligan and Mike Allred’s new X-Force.
