Before you can give of yourself to others you must know what of yourself you have to give. Every person is special. In all the land there is only one you, possibly two, but seldom more than sixteen.

Image
I feel so free and open to ideas, and I get inspired by everything.
Amy Sedaris
Image
But I love how people who are musical, they know how to dress.

Most people think witches are a coven of lesbians dancing naked in the forest celebrating the semen stolen from imprisoned hypnotized males, which they then use to inseminate one another using turkey basters in order to create a legion of demon babies. Well, that's only part of it. We are also active in community outreach programs.

I've always been drawn to people with problems. Not just physical problems, but mental problems too. Like depressed people or killers, all that stuff.

A lot of crafters, they're shut-ins.

I want witchcraft so bad that I can't stand it. I have wands in my apartment. And I use them sometimes. I walk into the kitchen with my wand, and I come out with something on a platter and I say, 'See, magic happens.' Works every time.

People who shop in health food stores never look healthy.

I have a lot of fake food in my apartment, but I'm picky about it. Old plaster food, like from the '50s is really nice, hollowed out paper-mache food from old plays - the new stuff just looks too good.

Sometimes, to keep things exciting, I decorate my house as if I owned a child. I'll toss a tiny pair of shoes in the hallway or lean small wooden crutches in what I refer to as 'the baby's room,' which is actually a tiny space where I make things. I continue to call it the baby's room because it confuses people and it's creepy.

I live in the moment.

Image
I wouldn't call myself a shut-in. I have the ability to leave my home I just choose not to. But because I'm such a homebody, it's important to be surrounded by things I love.

We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people.

Image
My father and I have a very good relationship. We always got along. But I always scold him.

I always find something to keep me busy.

Begin your story with a sentence that will immediately grab hold of your listener's ears like a surly nun in a Catholic school.

The moment someone says, 'Hey, everyone, listen to the words in this song,' your party is over.

I always liked my teachers, and I was in a lot of after-school projects. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year, when I couldn't be a Girl Scout anymore. I was in clubs like Junior Achievement, and I ran track and field. My grades were good, but then toward 11th grade they were nothing. I always went to summer school.

I always got along with all types of people - popular people as well as drug addicts.

I have a couple freeloader friends, but it's okay. I know they're gonna come in with their arms flying in the air empty-handed.
