“I'll read anything. In fact, I'll read while I'm doing other things, w...” — Jamaica Kincaid Quote

I'll read anything. In fact, I'll read while I'm doing other things, which is not a good idea.

When I moved out here to California, I became obsessed with geology. It's impossible not to be interested in the earth if you live in a place like this. I started to read a lot of geology, much to the horror of my friends.

I used to want to be a backup singer. Not a lead singer, because I really can't sing.

I like to be in my pajamas all day. Sometimes I don't wash for days because I like to read and sit around. I like to eat in bed.

I was a new person then, I knew things I had not known before, I knew things that you can know only if you have been through what I had just been through.

I'm used to being surrounded by really smart 22-year-old students who have no problem saying that something I suggested is not a very good idea.

And I don't know where I'm heading. I mean, I've got a pretty good idea of what I want in life.

I don't think I've ever turned down a fight. I get an opponent, I'm like OK. With the UFC, turning down fights isn't a good idea. That starts to put you in a bad light.

When you have a good idea, the money flows.

A sane person doesn't think war is a good idea. I'm not a pacifist. I feel that there are situations where fighting is inescapable, but we don't go looking for those things.
