“I am not a people person.”
“The person I am in the company of my sisters has been entirely different from the person I am in the company of other people. Fearless, powerful, surprising, moved as I otherwise am only when I write.”
“A poem is a naked person....Some people say that I am a poet.”
“I have only got down on to paper, really, three types of people: the person I think I am, the people who irritate me, and the people I'd like to be.”
“Perhaps; but I am a difficult person to live with. My difficulty consists in not wanting to live with other people.”
“It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.”
