A Quote by David Bowie
What I have is a malevolent curiosity. That's what drives my need to write and what probably leads me to look at things a little askew. I do tend to take a different perspective from most people.

I tend to write about people. I look at things from the bottom up and from the perspective of outsiders. A part of me just identifies with them.

I have that feeling at parties, too. I don't belong there.
