When I sat down to write I just felt like a geek writing about myself. And then it dawned on me, just because of the way I am, I can't stop talking, and part of the problem is that anything that gets said reminds me of something that happened to me one time, and invariably I cut people off and talk about myself.

  • -- Paula Poundstone 庞德斯通

当我坐下来写作时,我感觉自己就像一个写自己的极客。然后我醒悟过来,就因为我现在的样子,我不能停止说话,部分原因是,我说的任何话都会让我想起曾经发生在我身上的事情,我总是打断别人,谈论我自己。
