A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized. Sometimes I listen to songs by very smart writers who assume that the world is a civil place with certain formalities that people follow, but I don't see things that way. My own experience tells me that life is not like that. That's why I write the way I do.

If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.

I wasn't afraid of going places or doing new things. I would do just about anything or go anywhere. I'd get a notion in my mind and just follow it.

Some girls are taught to be sexy.

Girls are crazy and mean. They don't fight fair.

How weird it was to drive streets I knew so well. What a different perspective.

To me, a feminist belong in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently.
