My mother would write letters when I was away at camp and say, 'There's an Ann-shaped space around the house. Nobody fills an Ann-shaped space except an Ann.' I'm convinced we all have a God-shaped space in us, and until we fill that space with God, we'll never know what it is to be whole.

For most people, I'm just Alice. But I don't mind. Now, if I were Alice the ax murderer, then I'd hate it.

All of us wish we had an Alice. I wish I had an Alice.

I basically don't do that well with children, although my sister says I'm a great aunt.
