“Why am I compelled to write?... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing.”

“A smile is the best makeup a girl could wear”

I am not sure that I'm capable of shouldering it all myself - not sure that I am strong enough, or good enough.”

“If you hear how wonderful you are often enough, you begin to believe it, no matter how you try to resist it."
