I am old enough to know that laughter, not anger, is the true revelation.

I write lustily and humorously. It isn't calculated; it's the way I think. I've invented a writing style that expresses who I am.

Anger is really disappointed hope.

Never joke with the press. Irony does not translate into newsprint.

I don't think you will ever fully understand how you've touched my life and made me who I am. I don't think you could ever know just how truly special you are that even on the darkest nights you are my brightest star

I never became a writer for the money. I am a poet first. Even getting published is a miracle for poets.

I write slowly by hand. Publishing is effectively bankrupt for you unless you are Danielle Steele. It takes a year to write book and advances are going down or disappearing.
