The '90s are really the 'Sex and the City' woman, and I think, right now, the new contemporary woman is the 'Lipstick Jungle' woman.

I think that one of the things that has changed the perception is that there are so many more single people. In New York City, it's 47 percent. When you have that many people who are single, they have a bigger voice and they're more willing to speak and say, 'We're not miserable, we're not sitting at home waiting for Mr. or Ms. Right, we're having a good time.' And I think single people have better friendships.

Better alone than badly accompanied.

I'm looking forward to writing more novels for young adults.

The '80s was all about this idea that women could have it all. You could have a career, and you could have a husband, and you could have children.

Maybe our girlfriends are our soulmates and guys are just people to have fun with.
