People Always Tell Me Either A. You

I Have Always Been Fascinated By The Human Mind, Conscious And Unconscious - That Is What Writing And Reading Is About, Too. The Why Of Your Life And The Why Of Your Choices And The What Has Happened That You Know And The What That You Don't Know Is Really Riveting, And Psychoanalysts Share My Wonder At How It All Unfolds.

Everybody Is Bound By Some Social Rules. But I Think That Artists Need Some Kind Of Freedom To Explore Their Minds And That Some Of Them Tend To Take That Freedom To Live A Little More Openly Or A Little More Dangerously, Sometimes A Lot More Self-destructively, Than Other People.

It's True, We Tend To Write About The Same Thing Over And Over Again Because This Is Our Trauma. If I Had Been In World War Ii, I Might Have Been Writing About D-day Over And Over Again.

They Want To Play At Being Mothers. So Let Them. Expressing Tenderness In Their Own Way Will Not Prevent Girls From Enjoying A Successful Career In The Future; Indeed, The Ability To Nurture Is As Valuable A Skill In The Workplace As The Ability To Lead.

However, There Probably Is A Slight Connection Between The High-wire, Super Sensitivity, Open To Everything And Too Much, And Slightly Fragile Soul Of The Artist And The Need To Self-medicate, Which Can Lead To Bad Trouble Either In Drugs, Or Alcohol. So It's Not That There's No Connection, It's Just That We Can't Make Too Much Of It Because It Isn't The Addiction That's The Issue, It's The Fragility Of Some People Who Do Artistic Work, Who End Up In Rehab Somewhere Or Other.
