I've always been interested in the intersection between our rational and our unconscious lives.

As a young woman, I was so eager to please that I served others' happiness and even their values before my own. It didn't earn me love, but it did deliver me to a place where I had to choose between what I thought of myself and what other people did. I chose myself.

Writing is how I stay sane. It's completely necessary.

There aren't many people in our history who have so completely surrendered themselves to a mission that they would give up their lives for it.

I've always been interested in the intersection between our rational and our unconscious lives.

I can't work out much about myself or what I see in the world around me unless I do it through writing.

My days are as long as despair can make them.
