I do think that memoirs by women are reviewed differently and considered somewhat outside of the canon.

The memoir by women, read by female readers, is considered a market form, not "great literature."

I am worthy of being read. I mean, one has to be convinced of one's genius.

I think the online space can be a free space, in that we are not reliant online on the publishing industry or readers who just don't get it.

I think the mad wives and mistresses are my hysterics - even the fictionalized ones. I want to trace how they were silenced, I want to find for them an escape route.

All of my wildness is in the writing. I have discovered I have to be orderly and boring in my personal life to be wild in my work.

The biographies of the great men see their excesses as signs of their greatness.
