I have more freedom when I write fiction, but my memoirs have had a much stronger impact on my readers. Somehow the 'message,' even if I am not even aware that there is one, is conveyed better in this form.
“There really isn't any limit to the number of people who want a piece of you, and it's all important stuff.”
“As much as we need a prosperous economy, we also need a prosperity of kindness and decency.”
