An artist wears his work in place of wounds.

Life is an adventure of our own design intersected by fate and a series of lucky and unlucky accidents.

Then I read Little Women, and of course, like a lot of really young girls, I was very taken with Jo - Jo being the writer and the misfit.

Committing great work does not necessarily feed you.

My father came a couple of times, but he always blamed his hearing loss on my loud amplifiers. So he didn't come anymore, but I had his support.

I've lost lots of men in my life, besides my mother, which is a whole different loss.

What I really like is an intelligent review. It doesn't have to be positive. A review that has some kind of insight, and sometimes people say something that's startling or is so poignant.
