I wasn't afraid of going places or doing new things. I would do just about anything or go anywhere. I'd get a notion in my mind and just follow it.

Writing is always personal in some way but not always in a direct way.

If language were liquid, it would be rushing in. Instead here we are in a silence more eloquent than any word could ever be.

To me, a feminist belong in the same category as a humanist or an advocate for human rights. I don't see why someone who's a feminist should be thought of differently.

I always thought that if I was popular I must be doing something wrong.

A lot of my writing is not terribly civilized.

There are no rules in fights with girls. Just hurting.

I was always inventing characters and making up stories.

I dont think gender is aesthetically defining for me.

I had some fears as a kid, but I was also relatively fearless. Maybe that's a result of living half the time in reality and the other half in fantasy.

In a relationship, when trust is lost, everything is lost.

Stereotyping as a term has a negative connotation.

Tory plans to cut 'further and faster' would wreck recovery and roll back Labour's many successes.

I think it's a given that people know what I can do vocally.

Dreams are all I have ever truly owned.

The longer I'm alive, the more I realize how little I know. Pretending that you know everything about every topic, and being very vocal about it? That's an instant turnoff.

We destroy things with our curiosity. We shatter with our best intentions

You try to come up with new ideas, but in the end, people just want to eat Italian food.
