Friday's A Free Day. A Woman's Day.

My Parents Would Frisk Me Before Family Events. Before Weddings, Funerals, Bar Mitzvahs, And What Have You. Because If They Didn't, Then The Book Would Be Hidden Inside Some Pocket Or Other And As Soon As Whatever It Was Got Under Way I'd Be Found In A Corner. That Was Who I Was...that Was What I Did. I Was The Kid With The Book.

I Was The Kind Of Person Who Knew What He Wanted To Do; I Wanted To Write, I Wanted Not To Be In School, And I Felt That University Would Just Be Spending Another Four Years Of My Life Before I Could Write.

A Life That Is, Like Any Other, Unlike Any Other.

Idris: Are All People Like This? The Doctor: Like What? Idris: So Much Bigger On The Inside.

I Thought, I'm Going To Die. And, Thinking That, I Was Determined To Live.
