I believe literature can change things - Alice Hoffman

I think it's bad for writers to think too much about what their themes are, or to over-intellectualize their own work. I think it is much better for readers to think about that. They are not defensive, so they usually understand it at a different level, a purer level. I don't want to understand it too thoroughly. I just want to do it.

I think that I always wanted to tell the stories of women who were not able to tell their own stories.

When all is said and done, the weather and love are the two elements about which one can never be sure.
