My ideas usually come not at the desk writing but in the midst of living.

I had the feeling that Pandora's box contained the mysteries of woman's sensuality, so different from man's and for which man's language was inadequate. The language of sex had yet to be invented.

I write like a medium. I fear criticism because I fear it will destroy my spontaneity. I fear restriction. I live by impulse and improvisation and want to write the same way.

Adolescence is like cactus.

Art is the method of levitation, in order to separate one’s self from enslavement by the earth.

Dreams are necessary to life.
