The essential element in nurturing our creativity lies in nurturing ourselves.

I plant the seeds of love in my heart. I plant the seeds of love in the hearts of others.

When you are feeling too dull and too domesticated get on a horse, sit tall in the saddle, and for a moment live in a world that feels like risk and adventure.

I think of making love and making art as being very parallel. Even the most amateur attempt can be thrilling.

There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.

Writing is an act of cherishing... It is an act of love.

Rather than being taught to ask ourselves who we are, we are schooled to ask others. We are, in effect, trained to listen to others’ versions of ourselves.
