Ive learned never to try and force words to come.

If you are going to write, nothing will stop you, and if you are not going to write, nothing will make you.

My background is deep and set in deep time, and in a narrow space, oral traditions going back a long, long time, which I inherited by osmosis.

I loathe crowds. I especially dont like cities. A city involves biomass. And biomass gets to me.

The job of a storyteller is to speak the truth. But what we feel most deeply can’t be spoken in words alone. At this level, only images connect. And here, story becomes symbol; symbol is myth. And myth is truth.

When a monkey nibbles on a weenis, it's funny in any language.

I love research so much that I do an enormous amount; it helps put off the moment of starting to write the story.
