As a young person, I wanted everyone to agree with me.

I think to write fiction, this is just how I see it, you have to have a powerful need/desire to connect. I can't. Wanting to and not being able to has lead to a lot of misery in my life.

I've made some great mistakes in my life, but, you know, they were honest mistakes.

Whether I will be remembered at all, I really don't get to choose, unless I shoot someone famous. It's not really anything I have much control over.

I know I was a generic dysfunctional child, but I think a lot of people are.

Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.

I wonder if the guy at the gun store would give me a discount on the bullets I'll need if I told him what I was up to.
