I am gripped by an existential panic.

Eventually everyone has to hit the dark side of life - Someone doesn't like you, someone doesn't like your work, someone doesn't love you back... people die. What we have is a generation who are super-confident and super-positive about things, but when the least bit of darkness enters their lives, they're paralyzed.

After a while you learn that everything stops.

People are afraid to merge.

What keeps me interested--and it always does--is how can she be a bad actress on film but a good one in reality?

Every book for me is an exorcism in some way or another, working through my feelings at the time.

The seeds of love have taken hold and if we won't burn together, I'll burn alone.
