You can only sit on the frustration of wanting to express something for so long.

Expressing myself through language was always something that I had had to learn to do more so than others.

I can remember the frustration of not being able to talk. I knew what I wanted to say, but I could not get the words out, so I would just scream.

My emotions lose their force when I endeavor to interpret them, and my words seem very inept.

I am not very good at expressing myself in a simple way so it can create mis-understandings and I hate that.

Speaking is physically difficult for me.

I'm fascinated by the ways in which people express themselves, because their responses are often counter to what they're actually feeling. Like when they're frightened, they tend to freeze. When they're angry, it doesn't always come out as volume. There are wonderful contradictions in the way that people express their emotions.

I don't even use profanity when I'm angry. I think people expected I'd have written a nice romance or something.

It's really difficult for me. Language, I am sorry that I haven't. I think I just always expected that you learn a word in place of a word and when I discovered how difficult the grammar was and learning that was very discouraging for me.

It is really hard to completely re-learn how to express yourself without using words. When you take away speech, you have to re-invent the way you express yourself. You have to exaggerate your body language and your facial expressions.
