“I get melancholy if I don't [write]. I need the company of people who don't exist.”
“I don't need company in the company of you. And I don't need love, 'Cause your love will do. And I've got you. And you've got me. And that's all we need.”
“I don't expect people to know me...I am just someone you need to get along with. I am who I am.”
“i try to avoid people's eyes because i don't like to get that intimatewith just anybody. i don't need the responsibility.”
“But I think everybody should write. I think those people with stories who don't write should be stomped on. ”
“I always say to people who want to write: Live life! Don't stand on the rim, don't sit on the sidelines. Make mistakes, make a mess, get it wrong. Read everything, and get out and be in life.”
