Quote

There's a certain window of time in the middle of the night out in Middle America where there's no bar open and nothing on TV. If you don't want to do too many drugs, you have to start bodily mutilation.

I'm a little hibernating animal. Anonymity is one of my favorite things. I mean, that's why I moved to New York when I was like 18, because there, there are just so many people that there's no one and you're just lost. You're completely invisible and I find that very liberating.

When I was like sixteen, I was a total chick I had big hair. I was seen as this attractive girl, and I would get all this attention. And then I just cut off my hair, and I quit playing that game.

When I look down, I miss all the good stuff And when I look up, I just trip over things.

When you grow up surrounded by willful ignorance, you have to believe that mercy has it's own country and that it's round and borderless.

I'm searching, as we all are, for ways to feel good about myself. Certainly, looking in the mirror doesn't do it!

Maybe you can keep me from never being happy, but you're not going to stop me from HAVING FUN!

I hate it when people don't recognize the work of women as being universal, or having any import to the world at large, as opposed to men's work, which is generally tends to be seen as more universal - men's writing about their own experience tends to be put in a broader context.
