My Darlings, If I Can't Write Dark,

I Love The Creative Process. That's Always Been The Closest Thing To My Heart, Creating Something.

Something That's Fun For Me Is A Challenge. When You Have A Challenge And You Take On That Challenge And Succeed, That's The Best Feeling.

I'm Not The Fastest Writer. I Can't Just Crank Out Ideas That Are Good Enough.

The First Real Concert, Other Than Going With My Dad To See Three Dog Night, Was Smashing Pumpkins And Garbage. I Was Fourteen Or Fifteen. I Liked Shirley Manson Because She Reminded Me Of Annie Lennox. They Both Have These Deep, Sexy, Powerful Alto Voices.

My Best Friend Recently Told Me That I Was The Most Passionate Person She's Ever Known. I Don't Know If That Was A Compliment Or An Insult, Honestly.
