“I have always been confused about how to touch another person.”

“Personally, I know nothing about sex, because I have always been married.”

“I always felt like I was meant to have been born in another era, another time.”

“How could I possibly gone this long without the touch of another human being? I've been living my life like a zombie”

“I have a problem when people say something's real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I've always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.”

“I have written about love obsessively, forensically, and I know/knew it as the highest value. I loved God of course, in the early days, and God loved me. That was something. And I loved animals and nature. And poetry. People were the problem. How do you love another person? How do you trust another person to love you?”
