I had never read in public, never given an interview. I was doing it all and trying to produce the next book and raise three young kids and had another child on the way.

Pain and beauty, our constant bedfellows

Art is like therapy; what comes up is what comes up. It may be dark, but that's what comes up. You may want to keep some of it in a drawer but never judge it.

You cannot separate art from life or spirituality. They are bound together in a single unit.

I had never read in public, never given an interview. I was doing it all and trying to produce the next book and raise three young kids and had another child on the way.

I was frightened to go forward, but I was even more frightened of going back.

I don't think I am scared of intimacy, but I am frightened of making a mistake. offering more than I have, or expecting more than you can give. - Matt Sedon
