Nothing is a greater impediment to being on good terms with others than being ill at ease with yourself.

You've got to be fine with who you are.

I don't think I could, with a straight face, describe myself as a completely positive person, but I'm not overly negative, either. On the whole, most writers think plots through to their consequences, and it's not always a sunny place. I have an occupational temperament for anxiety.

It can be a little distressing to have to overintellectualize yourself.

I certainly was one of the instigators in the 1960s of freedom of expression.

I think it's the easiest thing in the world to be horribly critical about yourself.

I don't like any kind of negativity. I try to be good to everyone, whether it's a love, a friend, an ex. I'll always try to treat people the way I want to be treated.

I don't like to read about myself, whether it be positive or negative.

I'm very intolerant and I get fed up with people easily.
