As A Child I Was Such An Intense Daydreamer; I Could Be So Gone That I Had To Be Smacked To Come Back. They Were Really Worried That I Had Some Kind Of Catatonia Or Something Because I Would Go So Far Out. Because All I Wanted To Do Was Talk To God As A Child.

Then I Read Little Women, And Of Course, Like A Lot Of Really Young Girls, I Was Very Taken With Jo - Jo Being The Writer And The Misfit.

I Immersed Myself In Books And Rock 'n' Roll, The Adolescent Salvation.

My Mother Loved Rock And Roll. She Loved High-energy Music.

I Longed To Read Everything I Possibly Could, And The Things I Read In Turn Produced New Yearnings.
