“First and foremost, I am me. I'm real. I don't write to impress. I write to express.”

“I write for myself first and foremost, but I hope that others will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it.”

“The only characters I ever don't like are ones that leave no impression on me. And I don't write characters that leave no impression on me.”

“I write because I'm free,because I can,because I will. I write because I must,because I'm breathing,because I'd go crazy otherwise,because it's who I am.I write to make a statement,to share my thoughts,to discover myself,to express my ideas.But most of all, I write for future generations.I write for love. I write to inspire.I write to encourage. I write for me.”

“Why am I compelled to write?... Because the world I create in the writing compensates for what the real world does not give me. By writing I put order in the world, give it a handle so I can grasp it. I write because life does not appease my appetites and anger... To become more intimate with myself and you. To discover myself, to preserve myself, to make myself, to achieve self-autonomy. To dispell the myths that I am a mad prophet or a poor suffering soul. To convince myself that I am worthy and that what I have to say is not a pile of shit... Finally I write because I'm scared of writing, but I'm more scared of not writing.”

“I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of. ”
