Imagine a 15-year-old kid saying, 'I have two moms - it's cool.' I don't fear that at all.

For me, speaking to anyone - on a stage, in an elevator - I am looking for impact and connection. The same goes for writing.

I do my best to limit the amount of compromise in my life so I have more time to do what I want. Not hanging out with many people really helps. I am not a people person and I spend a great deal of time on my own and in this environment, I get a lot done.

I am well protected Too locked up Inside myself To get free

Anyone who wants to help me doesn't. Anyone who wants to kill me might. Anyone who wants to love me better not.

From those who agonize that they may no longer be able to write off their private jet to someone who doesn't feel like making the three mile hike to the well to get water and carry it back, everyone struggles.

Yes, I guess you could say I am a loner, but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
