There Are So Many Beautiful Things In

The Fan Mail I Get From Kids Are Asking Me Questions Which They Do Not Ask Their Mothers And Fathers. Because If They Had, Why Write To Me, A Perfect Stranger?

I Have To Accept My Role. I Will Never Kill Myself Like Vincent Van Gogh. Nor Will I Paint Beautiful Water Lilies Like Monet. I Can't Do That. I'm In The Idiot Role Of Being A Kiddie Book Person.

Bumble-ardy Looks Like A Happy Book. That's The Funniest Thing About It. But This Was Survival. I Was Working Very Hard To Survive.

All I Wanted Was To Be Straight So My Parents Could Be Happy. They Never, Never, Never Knew.

I Said Anything I Wanted Because I Don't Believe In Children I Don't Believe In Childhood. I Don't Believe That There's A Demarcation. 'oh You Mustn't Tell Them That. You Mustn't Tell Them That.' You Tell Them Anything You Want. Just Tell Them If It's True. If It's True You Tell Them.
