I've always considered myself a writer.

For Christmas every year, my mother used to give me those cheap little diaries that would tell your horoscope and provide a little blank slot for each day.

I liked being on stage, I just didn't like the theatrical aspect of being in front of people.

In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth.

In the period where I had to live the life of a citizen - a life where, like everybody else, I did tons of laundry and cleaned toilet bowls, changed hundreds of diapers and nursed children - I learned a lot.

Freedom is...the right to write the wrong words.

I was quite an insomniac. I rarely slept as a child. Having God to talk to at night was nice.
