I'm constantly having doubts and moments of depression and then excitement and then back into the slough of despond.

There comes a moment, when you get lost in the woods, when the woods begin to feel like home.

We knew, finally, that the girls were really women in disguise, that they understood love and even death, and that our job was merely to create the noise that seemed to fascinate them.

My change from girl to boy was far less dramatic than the distance anybody travels from infancy to adulthood.

You can tell when something's not moving forward anymore. When the doubts you have about it don't go away.

Everyone struggles against despair, but it always wins in the end. It has to. It's the thing that lets us say goodbye.

I spend most of every day writing. I like to write every day if I can. I don't start extremely early.
