Sometimes it's better not to look back.

Some truths are expressed best in the form of myth.

I liked this idea: that peculiarness wasn't a deficiency, but an abundance; that it wasn't we who lacked something normals had, but they who lacked peculiarness. That we were more, not less.

When you're writing, at least when I'm writing, I don't think about themes and I try not to sermonize with any particular message.

I grew up feeling like a weirdo like many kids do. But I was lucky to find my own home for peculiar children. I went to a school for the gifted in Florida, and it was full of kids who - we were all strange together. And that was a real blessing.

Sometimes it's better not to look back.

Sometimes you just need to go through a door.
