The better you know yourself, the better your relationship with the rest of the world. – Toni Collette
I dont mind where I work, its really nice to be able to travel around and taste the flavours of different countries. – Toni Collette
I usually write for the individual reader -though I would like to have many such readers. There are some poets who write for people assembled in big rooms, so they can live through something collectively. I prefer my reader to take my poem and have a one-on-one relationship with it. – Wislawa Szymborska
Some of the writers I admire who seem very, very funny and very emotional to me can develop a closeness with the reader without giving too much of themselves away. Lorrie Moore comes to mind, as does David Sedaris. When they write, the reader thinks that theyre being trusted as a friend. – Sloane Crosley
