Quote

I told as much of my life as I could to encourage people: to encourage others to get to where they should be, where they want to be.

Those who write about life, reflect about life. you see in others who you are.

I lived to write, and wrote to live.

As I experience life and go through things, that's what I write about.

I was like, 'I have to start writing for myself, to show people what I can do and what my point of view is.'

I always write to understand my place in the world. I can see myself and my life unfold on the page, and I can understand my strengths, my weaknesses - I can see where I need to step up a bit.

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

I've done an enormous amount of bringing light into people's lives, and I'm very proud of that and touching and inspiring people.

I've spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself.

Good writing excites me, and makes life worth living.
