An autobiography is a life story. It starts when you're born and continues until the end.

I believe in people treating each other with respect.

It's really interesting with art-movies too, but art especially - to see how your attitude toward artists and works and your level of appreciation of them is always shifting and changing over the years.

I decided I wanted out because it was killing me, and I couldnt see where to go with it that wouldnt be fatal.

I'm someone who's really susceptible to tears.

I like writing non-fiction - and when you pick a [non-fiction] subject, it saves you the hassle of coming up with a plot.

The problem with an autobiography is that all these extra factors make it difficult. You don't want to hurt people's feelings. You don't know how much you can trust your memory. You don't want it to be self-serving. And you have all these issues about how to present yourself. All these factors make it harder to do than a novel.
