Quote

I haven't done anything that I'm ashamed of.

I don't confess in my work because to me, that implies that you're dumping all your guilt and sins on the page and asking the reader to forgive you.

A confession has to be part of your new life.

There are things to confess that enrich the world, and things that need not be said.

I'm not ashamed of who I am.

I really don't feel that any of the pieces I wrote were confessions; there are no revelations about secrets in my life, and actually I have nothing to confess and I certainly do not ask for redemption and there is no reward for confessing that I expect.

I am not ashamed of anything - not my past, not my affairs, not my body, and most definitely not my desire.

There's nothing I've done which I'm ashamed of or I thought was actually bad.
