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

Feelings aren't sensible. Sometimes you fall in love with people who don't make sense. And the ones who do make sense turn out to be the wrong ones.

If you let anything infringe on your writing time, it will. And you won't get the writing done. Taking one day off can cost me five days of getting back in the mood. Going out to lunch can cost me anywhere from five hours to three days. And for me it's not worth it. For my own sense of well-being I have to finish my work before I can play.

To be able to touch lives, and touch a life that you don't even know, is an extraordinary thing.

Somebody once said to me that photography and writing don't get respect because people think that they can do it, too.

When you can bring yourself to write about it one day, you will find it all less painful. It is a catharsis of sorts, but the process can be brutal. Don’t do it until you’re ready.

Sing Me no songs tell me no tales cry me no tears, but remember me kindly.
