No need to hurry. No need to sparkle. No need to be anybody but oneself.

I don't like my voice. I don't like the way I look. I don't like the way I move. I don't like the way I act. I mean, period. So, you know, I don't like myself.

The act of writing is an act of optimism. You would not take the trouble to do it if you felt it didn't matter.

I’m not here to be liked by everyone. I’m here to be myself.
