I particularly like Twitter, because it's short and can be very funny and informative. It's a little bit like having your own radio program.

Where do the words go when we have said them?

There is something reassuring about the toilets. Bodily functions at least remain democratic. Everybody shits.

Gardening is not a rational act.

When I was young I believed that "nonfiction" meant "true." But you read a history written in, say, 1920 and a history of the same events written in 1995 and they're very different. There may not be one Truth - there may be several truths - but saying that is not to say that reality doesn't exist.

In the early fight for women's rights, the point was not that women were morally superior or better. The conversation was about the difference between men and women - power, privilege, voting rights, etc. Unfortunately, it quickly moved to the "women are better" argument. If this were true in life or in fiction, we wouldn't have any dark or deep characters. We wouldn't have any Salomes, Carmens, Ophelias. We wouldn't have any jealousy or passion.

Never pray for justice, because you might get some.
