I'm still afraid. I'm still afraid every day.

I think only once in your life do you find someone that you say, "Hey, this is the person I want to spend the rest of my time on this earth with." And if you miss it, or walk away from it, or even maybe, blink - it's gone.

Everything I write, I read out loud. It has to sound a certain way. It has to look a certain way on the page.

I have met women who don't have close women friends, and I've always been like, "How could that possibly be?"

I always say I write because I have lots of questions, not because I have any answers.

You're a part of me...You're in my heart. Forever and always, all right? —D

We do inherently know that poetry is about the way we speak. It's about where we pause, where we drop our words in the middle of a sentence. It's about the rhythm and the cadence of the way we speak. It's about putting that down at the end of the day.
