No one needs to teach you to be mean; we need to be taught to be kind.
The only advice [for new writers and poets] I can offer is to be yourself: not the self someone else wants you to be, but the self you are. Enjoy yourself and your life. But most of all travel and eat. That's how we learn.
Show me someone not full of herself and I'll show you a hungry person.
If you don't understand yourself you don't understand anybody else.
If you're a writer, the answer to everything is yes.
If now isn't a good time for the truth I don't see when we'll get to it.
