Outside of society, if you're looking that's where you'll find me.

I don't feel that censorship keeps me from doing the work, though. I'm my bigger censor.

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.

Most women writers don't interest me because they're hung up with being a woman, they're hung up with being Jewish, they're hung up with being somebody or other. Rather than just going, just spurting, just creating.

When I perform, I always opt for communication with God, and in pursuit of communicating with God, you can enter some very dangerous territory. I also have come to realize that total communication with God is physical death.

I just like living in certain atmospheres. Or I just like people as they are.

I've written a lot of prose. I just haven't published it.
