I think that sometimes love gets in the way of itself - you know, love interrupts itself. We want things so much that we sabotage them.

I've always loved the word blunderbuss. I've always thought that it was a beautiful word and that it could mean several different things.

I think the sensitivity that you need to create certain things sometimes would spill over into things that shouldn't have bothered me.

There's Catholic guilt about things, then there's the guilt of being the youngest of 10, so when nice things happen to you, you're not really allowed to enjoy them.

Fifteen minutes of fame doesn't make a career. An article in a magazine, newspaper, interview on television or multiple print ads may stroke your ego, but nothing much else.
