The challenge is to just focus on what's actually happening, focus on the people who get it, and focus on the people who are listening.

I don't try to make anybody outside happy.

I have never in my career embarked on a journey towards controversy. I have never deliberately set a flame.

I don't think of myself as particularly cursed or blessed. I think I got dealt a set of cards, and I'm playing with them, sometimes in heels, sometimes in combat boots.

If your writing is good, if it resonates, if it connects the dots for anybody out there, the lovers will come, the haters will come, support will come — sometimes in the form of money, sometimes in the form of something less expected — and it balances.
