Everything in my life that I value has been gained at the cost of not saying what I really think and saying what they want me to say.

People are people, messy and mutable, combining differently with one another from day to day - even hour to hour.

No matter what I do, no matter how predictable I try to make my life, it will not be any more predictable than the rest of the world. Which is chaotic.

When a person responds emotionally to intellectual things, or emotionally only to traditional emotional things - I find that an interesting break between myself and some other writers and fans.

It is not wrong to be different. Sometimes it is hard, but it is not wrong.

I used to not back down from a challenge.

One thing nobody can do better than you is be you.
