Writing is the greatest thing that can happen to a human being. It's the best.

Write it. Shoot it. Publish it. Crochet it, sauté it, whatever. MAKE.

Half of writing history is hiding the truth.

Passion... it lies in all of us. Sleeping, waiting, and though unwanted, unbidden, it will stir, open its jaws, and howl. It speaks to us, guides us... passion rules us all. And we obey. What other choice do we have?

Don’t just be yourself. Be all of yourselves. Don’t just live. Be that other thing connected to death. Be life. Live all of your life. Understand it, see it, appreciate it. And have fun.

I'm very much of the "make it dark, make it grim, make it tough", but then, for the love of God, tell a joke.

We are, all of us, incoherent text, and just knowing that - knowing that no matter how much you say, 'I am this' and part of you is not that - means that you can say it.
