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

I did it at night because I loved it. I never did it to make money, as a job. I just did it because I had to.

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.

I am endlessly busy, bringing up five young kids, and trying to keep up with the three older ones. I still spend most of my life driving car pools.

Long-distance relationships are another way of avoiding intimacy.

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.

People do strange things sometimes, when they feel hopeless.
