I think writers tend to be experience junkies, and I think they also tend to want to be on the outside looking in.

Nothing made sense to me anymore. I knew I was young, I knew I was small. But I was worried that I might already be ruined.

I suppose home is, for me, more of a state of mind. It's really more of about being where I want to be with people I care about.

You deserve to need me, not to have me.

I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn't deserve it.

The most valuable moments and experiences that life has to offer are found only along its most treacherous paths.

Writing has enriched my life in ways I never imaged.
