People forget years and remember moments.

Women are obviously much more discriminated against than men in many ways.

Any life will seem dramatic if you omit mention of most of it.

I like a lot of Margaret Atwood, I like much of Alice Munro. Again, if you were to ask me about male writers, there's often a novel I admire, but not all of their works.

I don't even correct people when they mispronounce my name now.

Clichés so often befall vain people.

I must say also that it's never worked to my disadvantage that I have long, blond hair.
