I wanted to be an actress. In college I was a serious feminist and very political. I was determined to get one thing out of my career and that was respect. I didn't want money. I didn't care about fame.
“You will find in politics that you are much exposed to the attribution of false motive. Never complain and never explain.”
“When I am writing a story it feels as real as the life I am experiencing off the page. It's an emotional illusion, I guess.”
