I am not very good at sticking to outlines, and I double back all the time to revisit scenes and change things.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

I'm not going to change; I'm very stubborn in this way. I am what I am.

I am trying to change the world.

Even from the beginning, that was the problem. People liked pretty things. People even liked pretty things that wanted to kill and eat them.

I am many things, but one of the things I am is a lesbian.
