“When I told the therapist that the “me” that I am now is the best me I can be, I was truthful. I’ve always given you my best, so when you say it's not enough, it chips away at the “best me.”
“What am I supposed to do when the best part of me was always you?And what am I supposed to say when I'm all choked up and you're ok?”
“I can only love you most when I love me best.”
“It's good for me to see so many other people who are not me. That there are so many others. I feel affection for them. Most of them are doing the best they can. I am also doing the best I can.”
“You bring out the worst in me. What can I say?”“That’s because you haven’t given me the chance to bring out the best in you.”
“You have to follow your own voice. You have to be yourself when you write. In effect, you have to announce, 'This is me, this is what I stand for, this is what you get when you read me. I'm doing the best I can - buy me or not - but this is who I am as a writer.”
