“I feel in some ways I've had a difficult life. And it makes me the kin...” — Melissa Bank Quote

“I feel in some ways I've had a difficult life. And it makes me the kind of writer I am, in what I value, what I respect, what I hold dear.”

“Basically, all anyone has to do is ask me for fun details or tell me to be creative, and my mind turns to mud. I am instantly the most boring person you've ever met.”

“I live by Edith Wharton's rule to get rid of anything neither useful nor beautiful. So I put the TV out on the street.”

“I will give my life to whoever in need, to any dear friend of mine.”

“I saw that nothing was permanent. You don't want to possess anything that is dear to you because you might lose it.”

“I played video games for years. I immersed myself in them. They're so beautiful. They have these gorgeous imaginary landscapes. And they were just very dear to me.”
