I tend to prefer the shelter of fiction.
Solitude was no reason for sloppiness
I'm not sure I even need a lover, male or female. Sometimes I think I'd settle for five good friends.
I think that instinct, that storytelling instinct, rescued me most of my life.
All I know is this: If you and papa are responsible for the way I am, then I thank you with all my heart, for it is the light and the joy of my life.
I had been a storyteller by instinct all my life. I was that boring little kid who made the rest of his friends sit around the campfire and listen to his ghost stories. It's been very much a part of my makeup.
