Quote

I write about my life.

Writing is my obsession, my passion. My relationship with it is one of the most complex and agonizing and richly vexing that I have in my life.

I write a lot about disadvantaged people, particularly vulnerable children, because I feel that that's who I was. That is familiar terrain for me. And I try to write about things that are very close to me because I want people to feel the passion that I have for the subject.

I can see a version of my life where it all becomes meaningless. On a good day, writing seems noble. Other times, it's narcissistic and pointless.

I write about my feelings, things that happen in my life and experiences.

You're writing your life as you go - the question becomes, how do you want to write your life?

I've always been a journal-keeper. I've always tried to write about how I'm experiencing life, and my feelings and thoughts.

I write for myself, and I write for my friends and people who I have a connection with. I try to give some dignity to peoples' lifestyles that tend to be ignored.

Because I've lived a risky and unconventional life, I don't often struggle for subjects to write about.
