It's so important to unclutter the mind. For me, creativity is greatly impeded just by the chatter and visual clutter of life. It's really important to have a space that is really clear for whatever is emerging to come.

I'm one in what I do and what I say and what I believe.

A writer's heart, a poet's heart, an artist's heart, a musician's heart is always breaking. It is through that broken window that we see the world.

Always with me was the inner twin: my true nature, my true self. It is timeless, free, compassionate and in love with whatever is natural to me

We will be ourselves and free, or die in the attempt. Harriet Tubman was not our great-grandmother for nothing.

Fiction is such a world of freedom, it's wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly.

I think the foundation of everything in my life is wonder.
