I lie on the floor, washed by nothing and hanging on. I cry at night. I am afraid of hearing voices, or a voice. I have come to the edge, of the land. I could get pushed over.

Potential has a shelf life.

Forgiving men is so much easier than forgiving women.

Never pray for justice, because you might get some.

Vanity is becoming a nuisance, I can see why women give it up, eventually. But I'm not ready for that yet.

It isn't chic for women to be drunk. Men drunks are more excusable, more easily absolved, but why? It must be thought they have better reasons.

This is what I miss, Cordelia: not something that’s gone, but something that will never happen. Two old women giggling over their tea.

In my dreams of this city I am always lost.

There is never only one, of anyone

Last night I felt the approach of nothing. Not too close but on its way, like a wingbeat, like the cooling of the wind, the slight initial tug of an undertow.

We outgrow love like other things and put it in a drawer, till it an antique fashion shows like costumes grandsires wore.

Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.

All travel has its advantages. If the passenger visits better countries, he may learn to improve his own, and if fortune carries him to worse, he may learn to enjoy it.

That's the main thing that attracts me - characters who have big journeys. I like playing those people.

I try to remember at least twenty to thirty things I'm grateful for every day, and I share those with at least one person that I am super grateful for.

The youth of an art is, like the youth of anything else, its most interesting period.

In Italy, I had an Afro, and a lot of the kids came up and felt my hair. It really was funny. I wish I had understood Italian.
