I didn't know you could write about yourself. Nobody ever told me about this.

I won't let people write anything they want to about me.

Embarrassingly enough, I often can't remember how I came to write something.

It's what I do well - I write about things that make people uncomfortable. That's probably the only thing I do better than my peers.

I can't write about people I don't feel some sort of connection to.

I'm just not that comfortable writing so much about myself.

All I write about is what's happened to me and to people I know, and the better I know them, the more likely they are to be written about.

My friends never talk to me about my poetry because they're embarrassed that I write it or they're embarrassed by what I write about which are not such extraordinarily terrifying things, but they are the state of human existence.

I do embarrassing things all the time, but I don't really get embarrassed. It's like I'm unaware of my embarrassing things.

There have been times when I'm writing about things that are personally embarrassing. Like any human being, sometimes I can't help but wonder - 'What are the people I know going to think about this?' So I have to remind myself that all is permissible. Art has to be a free space. Language has to be a free space.
