This is fusion, when two people become one. They are so close and so well suited to each other that they blend together. They merge and can't live without each other after that.

I love what I do. I'm so lucky.

You could never predict what would happen. There was an element of destiny in everything that one could never account for.

I think I'm very real as a person, and that comes across in my work.

Nothing is forever, but there's a continuing stream of people who go through our lives and continue with us... Nothing just stops and stays... But it flows on... Like a river.

People are so obsessed with that these days. As long as you're healthy, what difference do a few pounds make? Crazy diets. Thirteen-year-old girls on magazine covers who wind up in hospitals because they're so anorexic. Real women don't look like that. And who wants them to? No one wants a woman who looks sick or like she;s been from a refugee camp.

I wrote because I needed to and wanted to. It never occurred to me that I'd become famous.
