I thought everything was interesting. I wanted to go scuba diving and I wanted to learn how to surf. Because I grew up in the 60s girls were not allowed to do anything. As I've gotten older and realized that women can do things like that I thought, 'Why not? Now's the time.'

When things are really great, it just means everything's in it's place.

I don't consider myself a great writer, but I would like to think that I can at least proof- read.

It really doesn't matter to me what people say about me anymore.

For me, there's a fine line between telling a story that's fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it's bloodless, a little too fictional.

Something gets lost when you translate. It's hard to keep straight. Perspective is every thing.

I suppose I should be happy to be misread; better be that than some of the other things I have become.
