Quotes
“I do not write about nice people. I am not nice people. Neither is anyone I have ever cared deeply about.”
Skin: Talking About Sex, Class And Literature “I want to write a great book — I want to make a difference — I want to have adventures and take enormous risks and be everything they say we are and not give a damn what anyone says.”
Foreword to My Dangerous Desire: A Queer Girl Dreaming Her Way Home by Amber L.
