I'm more interested in interpersonal relationships - between lovers families, siblings. That's why I write about how we treat each other.

money does not guarantee happiness or peace of mind, it can take your mind off things, distract you, but it can't replace the generic stuff a person needs!

Let me put it this way: when I read, I learned the world was not as small as my house. And that everybody in my home town was not representative of the way people in the world were raised. And that was what saved me.

There is a price for popularity. Critics look for your weaknesses, your flaws, anything that makes the work seem like a fluke and not seem worthy of all the attention it's getting.

Writing is the only place I can be myself and not feel judged.

I take what people feel and think, especially when it's different from, very seriously, and I find it liberating.

I've got tons of irreplaceable information inside the soul of this computer.
