Desire is hunger is the fire I breathe, love is a banquet on which we feed.

I think its very important to not be afraid to experience joy in the middle of sorrow.

I felt alien my whole life but I didn't feel alien because of my gender. Other people made me aware of my gender.

I never had any dates. I never really had any boyfriends. I was the girl who did the guys' homework. I was really crazy about guys but I was always like one of the boys. The guys I always fell in love with were completely inaccessible.

Why can't I write something that would awake the dead? That pursuit is what burns most deeply.

Usually when I go to a place for the first time, unless there's something historical or spectacular that nature has to offer, the first thing I like to do is see what's on the minds of the people.

So my last image was as the first. A sleeping youth cloaked in light, who opened his eyes with a smile of recognition for someone who had never been a stranger.
