Why is my needle stuck in childhood? I don't know why. I guess it's because that's where my heart is.

God, I had great people in my life.

When I did 'Bumble-ardy,' I was so intensely aware of death. Eugene, my friend and partner, was dying here in the house when I did 'Bumble-ardy'. I did 'Bumble-ardy' to save myself. I did not want to die with him. I wanted to live, as any human being does.

Children do live in fantasy and reality; they move back and forth very easily in a way we no longer remember how to do.

I want to see me to the end working, living for myself. Ripeness is all.

When you hide another story in a story, that’s the story I am telling the children.

I believe there is no part of our lives, our adult as well as child life, when we're not fantasizing, but we prefer to relegate fantasy to children, as though it were some tomfoolery only fit for the immature minds of the young.
