Life is not about creating an unreal existence. People should be challenged to find something cool about the mundane.

I think it's really cool that there are people like Adele on the cover of 'Vogue' and 'Rolling Stone,' and like I think it's really important that people are talking about your body, because if they don't, then you'll never be able to break that barrier.

Just like my straight friends, I am repeatedly asked when I plan to have kids, and have been told many times, by various branches of my bloodline, that "even lesbians can have babies these days."

True love is about being able to accept raw emotions, no matter how difficult.

In moments when I question if I should be having kids, I think of all those phone calls from my sister-in-law, in which, 3,000 miles away, I hear my nephews screaming for her attention. I tell her I have to go because I am packing to leave for Europe, and her tone flatlines: "That must be nice."

If you have a therapist who agrees with your every word, then your brain isn't getting proper exercise.

I don't have a good attention span and can't spend long in record stores or video shops or games emporiums without getting grumpy.
