A named thing is a tamed thing.

I'm incapable of hiding my feelings when I'm around someone I don't like.

I have a tendency to pick up my own challenges. The more difficult something it is, the more I want to try it.

The process of writing is a little like madness, a kind of possession not altogether benign.

I speak as I must and cannot be silent.

If you want something you can have it, but you have to do some work. It's the ethic my mother brought me up with.

I like literature that you respond to in some way. You laugh, you cry, you turn the light on - that's great, it's eliciting a response by proxy.
