I think a young woman's relationship with her father is really important.

For me, having it all is being paid to write novels.

I make mistakes. That's what I do. I speak without thinking, I act without knowing. I drink so much that I can barely walk...I'm a fantastic lover though, and an amazing friend. God knows I mean well.

The only way to look at men is like they're electrons. They have all these charges sticking out, and they're always looking for a hole where they can put those charges.

Love is spiritual. It's about self-sacrifice and commitment. And discipline. You cannot have true love without discipline and respect. When you lose the respect of your spouse, you've lost everything.

The world is full of people who all want the same thing, and you have to do a little something extra to make them remember you.

There's so many things that mattered so much in my 20s and 30s that don't matter now.
