"It is always fatal to have music or poetry interrupted."

-- George Eliot

“It's give-and-take and back-and-forth, that constantly allows you to grow as an artist and as a human being.”
“I enjoy the cleaning up - something about the getting of things in order for winter - making the garden secure - a battening down of hatches perhaps... It just feels right.”

“Imagine the first Burmese "giraffe woman"; she was probably a local icon in her village in the way she put the rings around her neck to sell her craft. Then she became a celebrity, so all of the wannabes started following her in that uncomfortable and unhealthy trend. But is that so different from Pamela Anderson? I don't think so.”
