INTERVIEWS

2009 I have stood alone, blazing My own trail. I have lived outside of the spiritual tradition. An outsider, not because they outcast Me, but because it was just My own inclination. I don't come from the conventional point of view or mind set.

It's funny; I'm married to an actor. The first guy was a musician, the second guy wanted to be a writer, and the third guy is an actor and they all are kind of introverts. A little too quiet sometimes for my taste. But they're fine.

I love talking about fashion. It is my oldest art form; I started this before I started anything else. When I was in high school I got a job and I got money and I use it for fashion. I got my first paycheck and my parents didn't require any payment for room or board - so I said, "What do I do with this money?"

I think I always had an ear. My first husband was a musician but I don't think I paid as much attention to music at that time because I was raising Geri and all that. When I woke up I got a piano and started working on it.

I never thought of Myself as a writer and it wasn't something I was naturally inclined towards but in retrospect I have produced a substantial body of work and it wasn't even a main occupation. So far I have seven books (four of which were published), 52 short stories and over 147 poems and it seems there is still more to come.
