“You can't write a script in your mind and then force yourself to follow it. You have to let yourself be.”
“First, you have to think and think and think and think; then you have to force yourself to write it down.”
“To make real friends you have to put yourself out there. Sometimes people will let you down, but you can't let that stop you. If you get hurt, you just pick yourself up, dust off your feelings, and try again.”
“Sometimes, being true to yourself means changing your mind. Self changes, and you follow.”
“There are things that you can't do - like writing letters to a part of yourself. To your feet or hair. Or heart.”
“You should write, first of all, to please yourself. You shouldn't care a damn about anybody else at all. But writing can't be a way of life - the important part of writing is living. You have to live in such a way that your writing emerges from it.”
