I believe in the resilience of the human heart and the essential validity of love that connects between people can be made and that the spirits which inhabit us sometimes touch.

I believe that the cost of those connections is horribly, outrageously high.

I believe that the value received far outweighs the price which must be paid.

I believe, suppose so, in the coming of the WHITE and in finding a place to make a stand…and defending that place to the death. They are old-fashioned concerns and beliefs, but I would be a liar if I did not admit I still own them. And that they still own me.

I still love a good story, too. I love hearing one, and I love telling one.

"I want out of the labels. I don't want my whole life crammed into a single word. A story. I want to find something else, unknowable, some place to be that's not on the map. A real adventure. A spinx. A mystery. A blank. Unknown. Undefined."
