There have been times when I’m writing about things that are personally embarrassing. Like any human being, sometimes I can’t help but wonder – ‘What are the people I know going to think about this?’ So I have to remind myself that all is permissible. Art has to be a free space. Language has to be a free space.

All my life, I have been a positive thinker… I have always been able to survive by telling myself that no matter how bad things are, they will one day be better. And that out of every event – no matter how tragic – one can always find a way to survive and even, perhaps, to be a little bit happy.
