I live alone, with cats, books, pictures, fresh vegetables to cook, the garden, the hens to feed.
From Jeanette Winterson
I like to think the price I paid by being open about my private life helped.
I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.
I hated historical novels with fluttering cloaks.
I hate the word lesbian; it tells you nothing; its only purpose is to inflame.
I had relationships with men as well as women. I wasn't choosing; I didn't think I had to.
I don't write for any group. I write to bring about a change in consciousness.
I don't understand why people talk of art as a luxury when it's a mind-altering possibility.
I don't read reviews because by then it's too late - whatever anyone says, the book won't change. It is written.
Nobody knows anything about Shakespeare the person. It's all legend, it is all rumor.
