Finally, by the sea, where God is everywhere, I gradually calmed.

I started resenting how much art robs from life. I'd go to a party and I couldn't enjoy myself, even sexually. All I could think was how I was going to reinvent the experience into a piece of art.

I think I'm constantly in a state of adjustment.

One day we’ll go in together, and the work will be ours.

I've never felt grounded because of my ancestry or my gender. I think until women get away from that they're not going to be great writers.

I didn't know Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse, but I was affected by both of their deaths because I admired their work so much and mourned their youth and work they would never produce.

Make your interactions with people transformational, not just transactional.
