“I am a writer who happens to love women. I am not a lesbian who happens to write.”
“On the contrary I am not a poet, I am just a writer who happens to write poetry.”
“...some writers closet themselves - I write wherever I am because that's where life is happening ...”
“I am not what happens to me. I choose who I become.”
“Well you should care. About my past, I mean. Because who I am today is based on who I was, and what happened to me. You are in love with who you think I am, not the real me. Not the me who is broken inside.”
“I am not the Catholic candidate for President. I am the Democratic Party's candidate for President, who happens also to be a Catholic.”
