My ladder is my rocket to paradise.
Drawn to your light,
The gravity of your night.
Star by star, I climb,
Nearer to you every time.
Am I a fool?
Should I stay on the ground?
Pretend my heart is made of ice?

If you’d ride on my ladder.
Our ladder,
Our rocket to paradise.

In 1992, she described SWANS CROSSING to the Chicago Tribune: “We’re more of an action-adventure soap-serial,” she explained. “We decided not to do problem/solution stories like teenage alcoholism, child abuse, drugs. Instead we asked what is the most obvious concern of adolescents? When the world is falling apart around me, what am I most concerned about? Who likes me? Who is my friend today? Who will ask me out? We decided to make them rich to give them more freedom to get where they wanted to go.”
