I am not a prisoner of my sexuality like men younger than myself although I write about being a prisoner. ↗

I write because something inner and unconscious forces me to. That is the first compulsion. The second is one of ethical and moral duty. I feel responsible to tell stories that inspire readers to consider more deeply who they are. ↗

And when I was young, my family was perfectly nice. I write a lot about it, as you noticed. But it was rather limited. I think, I don't think anyone in my family would really feel I'd done them an injustice by saying that. We didn't see many people. There were many books. It was as if I wanted to get away from home. ↗

I write for what's left of the eight-year-old still rattling around inside my head. ↗

I know what my job is: I write the songs, I sing them, I play them on the piano. ↗
