“Dance above the surface of the world. Let your thoughts lift you into creativity that is not hampered by opinion.”

“Men can have an obvious display of heroics or strength or accomplishment, but it is the unsung women throughout all ages of humankind who have endured with superlative strength, beauty and love, often with secret suffering, that deserve absolute respect and acknowlegement. They are the true heroes of humanity. They are the champions who have birthed and nurtured us, who have held us together at the most integral level, when men seemed intent only on tearing apart the fabric of life for irrelevant ideals.”

“You don't have to disrespect and insult others simply to hold your own ground. If you do, that shows how shaky your own position is.”

“I welcome questions. I hate assumptions.”

“Every word I write is like a drop of my blood. If it's flowed passionately and long, I need time to recover from the emotion spent before I begin a new story. My characters are aspects of my life. I have to respectfully and carefully move between them.”
