I'm Very Comfortable Writing.

Everybody Believes In Chance.

Part Of It Is Living In Tennessee. I'm So Out Of The Loop. And As A Person, I'm Out Of The Loop. I'm Oblivious By Nature.

Hope Is A Horrible Thing, You Know. I Don't Know Who Decided To Package Hope As A Virtue Because It's Not. It's A Plague. Hope Is Like Walking Around With A Fishhook In Your Mouth And Somebody Just Keeps Pulling It And Pulling It.

You Can't Be A Good Person When You're Writing And A Bad Person To Your Husband Or A Bad Friend. You Can't Be A Jerk In Order To Be A Good Writer. You Can't Say, "i'm Too Busy Writing To Be Political." You Are One Person. You Are The Same Person In Every Aspect Of Your Life, And You Have To Be A Responsible Person In Every Aspect Of Your Life.

Home, Bed, Sleep, Mother--who Knew More Beautiful Words Than These?
