“Why am I afraid to tell you who I am? I am afraid to tell you who I am, because, if I tell you who I am, you may not like who I am, and it's all that I have...”
“We didn't get that chance because I was afraid. Afraid I had no chance with you.”
“I wrote a novel because I had a yen to do it. I believe this is sufficient reason to set out to tell a story.”
