Everything is a self-portrait. Everything is a diary.

G. I. Gurdjieff

Katie Wech

I think there might be some pressure released while I'm doing autobiographical work, but afterwards everything remains the same.

Paul Auster

Everything that I do is very autobiographical. I'm trying to be as much of an open book as possible and give the audience every single piece of me.

Dua Lipa

Everything is personal - the poems and the crime novels. I have never been involved in any murders, but there are strong autobiographical elements in each.
