Real people are places to me as much as persons: I want to see them, as I want to see the places I am fond of, in all weathers and at all times of the year.

Country people give me more than writers, and country places than towns.

I might be at a point where I don't want to go with a genre convention but I have to produce some pages. It's hard work. And it requires you learn certain skills.

I don't want to be in the spotlight so bad that I'm going to sell my soul, or sell my creativity short.

I could never learn to like her, except on a raft at sea with no other provisions in sight.

I want you to find the poor here, right in your own home first. And begin love there. Be that good news to your own people.

Things can change so fast on the internet.

Needing approval is like saying 'your view of me is more important than my own opinion of myself'.
