The state of love is this constant flux back and forth between who's saving and who's rescuing, who's wanting and not wanting, who's needing and who isn't. It's always going back and forth between two people who are actually attached.

Sometimes there isn't a way to hug and make everything better.

There's a lot of water in everything I've ever written. There's always oceans and pools.

You have to want something or you're finished.

I do some messing around with things, not necessarily about me but about place and people and the things around.

In order to have a real life of any romance, there has to be a level of fantasy.

I can't say that fantasy instead of the 3D world is fine or good, but I know in my own life I have certain people I've kind of fixated upon to the point of pure fantasy. Then there's such a dilemma when here they are, and they're getting ever less and less like the way the fantasy has them.
