I wanted to invent myself as a fictional character. And I did, and it has caused a great deal of confusion.

I can't do it. I've been here before and it's not a room with a view. The only power I have is the negative power of withdrawal. If I don't withdraw I have no power at all. A relationship where one person has no power or negative power, isn't a relationship, it's the bond between master and slave.

Trust me, I'm telling you stories. ... I can change the story. I am the story.

I wanted to cause trouble, but I know now it stays with you.

There are only three possible endings -aren't there? - to any story: revenge, tragedy or forgiveness. That's it. All stories end like that.

Art saved me; it got me through my depression and self-loathing, back to a place of innocence.

To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead.
