I generally try to think of what it is I want to express and then find a way of expressing it.

I don't feel real confident expressing myself except when I'm writing. I feel kind of scatterbrained. I can see everything from both sides and that makes it hard to reach conclusions. Writing enables me to clarify things.

I try to find different ways of expressing myself. Without that I will die.

I mean, I have moments of huge frustration because of my inability to express myself linguistically as clearly as I would like to.

The problem with merely writing so that you can be understood is that the wrong people, in advancing their agendas, are only too ready to misunderstand you. Writing so that you cannot be misunderstood anticipates and preempts those who would willfully distort what you are trying to say.

Writing is my primary way of expressing myself.

If your character doesn't express himself or doesn't feel confident expressing himself, then you don't express yourself.

I've never had a problem with people expressing themselves. It's one thing great about our country.

I don't want to be understood because if people understand me, they get tired of me.
