“You can't write a script in your mind and then force yourself to follow it. You have to let yourself be.”

“There are things that you can't do - like writing letters to a part of yourself. To your feet or hair. Or heart.”

“Sometimes, being true to yourself means changing your mind. Self changes, and you follow.”

“In most countries in the world, your fate and your identity are handed to you; in America, you determine them for yourself. America is a country where you get to write the script of your own life. Your life is like a blank sheet of paper, and you are the artist.”

“You should write, first of all, to please yourself. You shouldn't care a damn about anybody else at all. But writing can't be a way of life - the important part of writing is living. You have to live in such a way that your writing emerges from it.”

“NO! Don't force yourself to be alone! If you're alive, you can meet that person, somewhere, someday! The person that will be glad that you're alive! You can't… you can't want yourself to die!! So… live…”

“If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.”

“Let yourself be influenced by your mind, not by mind who do it for work.”

“Write with your eyes like painters, with your ears like musicians, with your feet like dancers. You are the truthsayer with quill and torch. Write with your tongues of fire. Don't let the pen banish you from yourself.”

“If you write with passion in your own style, you will make a place for yourself”
