Hope never abandons you, you abandon it.

Life could be wonderful if people would leave you alone.

I'm guilty of extraordinary naivete, I suppose. But it's a naivete that I really don't want to abandon, not even now.

All the people I have written about remain with me - perhaps they are my closest friends.

If someone feels that they're abandoned, there are always complicated feelings. There are always reasons for why people do the things that they do.

I never really did abandon my true self. It's not like I invented this imaginary person and started to be her.

I suppose I flee to life. I'm most interested when conversations become difficult.

No one leaves an old friend unless they are ashamed.

To those supporters who were told that I abandoned them, that is untrue. I abandoned greed, corruption, and compromise, never you, and never the artistic gifts and abilities that sustained me.
