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.

I'm one of them. The weirdos and the freaks. My point was that it's ok to be different, and from now on we'd better be, if we're going to make something of ourselves. It's the one thing I learned in school. Different is ok. -Victoria

Sometimes, I think one should only live in the present. The past is only a heavy burden to carry with you. And yet... it's so hard to let them go... to forget... to move ahead.

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

I think people face that in any artistic field, this idea of: oh, I could do that, if I had the time.

Maybe some people just aren't meant to be in our lives forever. Maybe some people are just passing through.

I wish I were brave, although I try. I work too hard and don't play enough. Too much work ethic, not enough 'fun'.
