• I am a futility. The life of prayer begins with that. And God is not a comfort, to be offered like Kleenex. God is a poisoned sea, with broken syringes washing up on the beach. God is shopping malls stretching to the horizon and warplanes in the sky. God is a flat tire in a rainstorm and beer cans in the ditch, a bottle shattered on a highway and the taste of gunmetal in your mouth.

• The higher the heel, the more drastic it can get. But I do need heels to perform, which is strange. I can't perform in flats because I've built up this...I don't know, this sexual side that I find myself moving and getting into the music more when I'm feeling a little more feminine.
