Because I live in California now, I find my musings really being centered in this world.

I have had, like most women, a lifelong preoccupation with my weight. My first published short story was a love story between an elderly man and a very young morbidity obese woman.

The city, no matter how small, is corrupt and unrepentant, while the sun shines brighter in the country, making people more wholesome.

The drugstore is a wonderful place to see all manner of ailments.

How cruel it must be for a man to live past his soul.

The strangest thing about strange things is that they're only strange when you hear about them or think about them later, but never when you're living them.

When you stand outside, you look around and find that the people you're with live on the fringes.
