I feel confident imposing change on myself. It's a lot more fun progressing than looking back. That's why I need to throw curve balls.

If I had a talent, it was for looking askew at everything, possibly more than my contemporaries. But I had to really push myself to be a writer.

I'm not a great one for looking back.

It is not possible to go forward while looking back.

Looking back, I guess I've lived an unusual life.

I feel like giving back is in my blood.
