Confession is good for the soul, it empties the spirit making more room for sin.

You have to stick to what you love, as writing is such a lonely and depressing existence... stick to what you love and someone will hear your voice.

I took about a year to fully adjust. Like there's a death at the family or a divorce, you don't just snap your fingers and it's over.

The past is history, the future is a mystery. But today is a gift...that's why they call it the present. So cherish every minute of it.

No thoroughly occupied person was ever found really miserable.
