Great sex is not a pleasant soak in the tub, with the scented candle burning. Great sex is more like a bomb exploding inside your right mind.

The past is a candle at great distance: too close to let you quit, too far to comfort you.

Intimacy is being seen and known as the person you truly are.

It takes something to get married: nerve, hope, a strong desire to make a certain statement - and it takes something to stay married: more hope, determination, a sense of humor, and needs that are best met by being in a pair.

Be real and unashamed. Even of your faults.

My writing process, such as it is, consists of a lot of noodling, procrastinating, dawdling, and avoiding.

There is no such thing as a good writer and a bad liar.
