I like cooking, but I think someone else ought to do the dishes.

I've never gotten used to winter and never will.

I've come to see that I'm saying something that people generally do not want to hear.

Every time I end a book, I look down at myself.

I come from a little island with the Caribbean Sea on one side and the Atlantic Ocean on the other. I come from, really, nowhere, and for me, the fiction and the nonfiction, creative or otherwise, all come from the same place.

It is sad that unless you are born a god, your life,from its very beginning, is a mystery to you.

I loved Charlotte Bronte when I was little, and I wanted to be Charlotte Bronte the way people want to be a princess.
