I do resent that when you're in the most cool, powerful time of your life, which is your 40s, you're put out to pasture. I think women are so much cooler when they're older. So it's a drag that we're not allowed to age. ↗

One way of watering down the effects of violence is to approach it in a more lighthearted way. I don't mean to say that you laugh when somebody has their arm sawn off, but you can diffuse fear with humour. ↗

There is the view that poetry should improve your life. I think people confuse it with the Salvation Army. ↗

I think all good writing is a struggle. To write as well as you feel you can has to be a struggle, almost by definition, because you could always improve. ↗

I've noticed that since I've been pregnant I see babies everywhere. I love talking to them. I never used to really like kids that much. I guess it comes out of you naturally. ↗

You should not see the desert simply as some faraway place of little rain. There are many forms of thirst. ↗
