Art is always an energy exchange.

Take your life in your own hands, and what happens? A terrible thing: no one to blame.

When I'm sitting at the desk not being able to write line one, it's silence and despair! It's not so easy to put the pen to the legal pad or type the first sentence on the computer screen.

The trick is not how much pain you feel--but how much joy you feel. Any idiot can feel pain. Life is full of excuses to feel pain, excuses not to live, excuses, excuses, excuses.

If you've been a pretty woman and always pursued by lovers, losing that and not having that - it feels like a great loss.

It was easy enough to kill yourself in a fit of despair. It was easy enough to play the martyr. It was harder to do nothing. To endure your life. To wait.

I remember everything but forgive anyway.
