In bad weather, I spent hours drawing action figures on paper, coloring them, backing them on cardboard, then cutting them out and creating whole stories around their lives.

We live out our lives as we are meant to live them-with some choice, with some chance, but mostly as a result of the persons we are.

We should not be less than what we are.

A cat never discusses his business with humans, not even Princesses. A cat never explains and never apologizes. A cat never alibis. You must accept a cat as it is and for what it is and not expect more than the pleasure of its company.

For a writer, its very attractive to stay in one world for a time.

You spend so much time wondering who you are, don't you think? You flounder about, searching for your identity, when most of the time it is plain as the nose on your face. You struggle with questions of purpose and need, and forget that the answers are found mostly inside yourselves.

Why pretend to be something you're not? If you have to be someone, be someone no one else is.
