I think computers have changed things tremendously. at one time, you tended to take the rough with the smooth. but now, because you can go back and stop and start, and have a limitless amount of tracks if anything looks remotely good, we keep it. you've got to go through the agony of sounding very human at first, and then you work on it with the aid of technology. computers have revolutionized things in many ways allowing me to work to a standard i could have only joked about fourty years ago.

This is my depressed stance. when you're depressed, it makes a lot of difference how you stand. the worst thing you can do is straighten up and hold your head high because then you'll start to feel better. if you're going to get any joy out of being depressed, you've got to stand like this.

"i've got to get to the bottom of this one," she'd say, as if a book were no different from a pond or a lake. i thought she'd go on reading forever but it didn't work out that way.

When the feminist movement was at its zenith in the late 60's and early 70's, there was a lot of moving away from the idea of the person. it was: let's talk about the ideas behind the work, and the people matter less. it was kind of a gimmicky thing, but lots of feminist women were doing it. many of us took the names of our female ancestors - bell hooks is my maternal great grandmother - to honor them and debunk the notion that we were these unique, exceptional women. we wanted to say, actually, we were the products of the women who'd gone before us.
