“When I’m writing about myself, I write out of a strong urge not to protect myself. When I feel ego or self justification or defensiveness creeping in or a wish to make myself look better than I was, I squelch it, if I can. It takes vigilance. Exposing myself is the only way to go, though. If I’d rather wear veils, I should write fiction.”

“I firmly believe that there are things we already know and spend a lot of time resisting. You can try, but the amount of energy you spent trying not to know what you already know will be exhausting.”
