When you flee as a child, it takes time to learn to trust people. You’re constantly on your guard, all the time. Even when you’re in a safe place, you’re on your guard.

From Bay Area Reporter, 1977. 

“I don’t know what living a balanced life feels like. When I am sad, I don’t cry, I pour. When I am happy, I don’t smile, I glow. When I am angry, I don’t yell, I burn. The good thing about feeling in extremes, is when I love, I give them wings. But perhaps that isn’t such a good thing, cause they always tend to leave and you should see me, when my heart is broken. I don’t grieve, I shatter.”
