"I can always live by my pen."

"Without music, life would be a blank to me."

"As much as I loved the art and discipline of the dance, it didn't love me!"

"I have learnt how to live, how to be in the world and of the world, and not just to stand aside and watch."

"My greatest victory has been to be able to live with myself, to accept my shortcomings. I'm a long way from the human being I'd liked to be, but I've decided I'm not so bad after all."

"I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living."
