Writing is one of the ways I participate in transformation.

Write a lot and hit the streets. A writer who doesn't keep up with what's out there ain't gonna be out there.

It's a dismally lonely business, writing.

My responsibility to myself, my neighbors, my family and the human family is to try to tell the truth.

All writers, musicians, artists, choreographers/dancers, etc., work with the stuff of their experiences. It's the translation of it, the conversion of it, the shaping of it that makes for the drama.

Medication without explanation is obscene.

Old folks are the nation.
