#myself

I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together - it's great. ↗

The class has become over the years fairly large, running to three hundred or more, but I always insist upon reading all the student folklore collections myself. Although this is a tall order, I look forward to it because I learn so much from it. ↗

I could never have pictured myself writing a book when I was 25 years old. My mom was an English teacher but I wasn't that way growing up. ↗

You know, I always think of myself as sort of ready for every criticism. ↗

The language has got to be fully alive - I can't bear dull, flaccid writing myself and I don't see why any reader should put up with it. ↗
