“Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard.”
“When I'm writing, I know I'm doing the thing I was born to do.”
“Everyone has left me except my muse, that good nurse. She stays in my hand, a mild white mouse.”
“My ideas are a curse. They spring from a radical discontent with the awful order of things. I play clown. I play carpenter. I play nurse. I play witch.”
