The Only Thing I Don't Doubt Is

I See [my Pen] As An Extension Of My Musculature. It's Like Being A Painter. It's The Closest I Can Get To My Breath.

I Say That I Can't Make Anything Up. I Think Of Myself As A Collage Artist. I'm Cutting And Pasting Memories Of My Life. And I Say, I Have To Live A Life In Order To Tell A Life. I Would Prefer To Tell It Because Telling You're Always In Control, You're Like God.

When I Was In Therapy About Two Years Ago, One Day I Noticed That I Hadn't Had Any Children. And I Like Children At A Distance. I Wondered If I'd Like Them Up Close. I Wondered Why I Didn't Have Any. I Wondered If It Was A Mistake, Or If I'd Done It On Purpose, Or What. And I Noticed My Therapist Didn't Have Any Children Either. He Had Pictures Of His Cats On The Wall. Framed.

If I Can Make People Laugh It's Like Being A Good Lover.

I Understood Once I Held A Baby In My Arms, Why Some People Have The Need To Keep Having Them.
