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.

I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

I still feel conflicted because I don't always get to spend as much time with my daughter as I'd like, given my work.

Last year's troubles, They shine up so prettily, They gleam with a lustre they don't have today.

Don't uncork what you can't contain

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

I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.
