sometimes the best thing to do is to pretend it didn't happen

I started working for the 'NY Observer' when I was 33. After I had been writing for them for about a year and a half the editor said, 'Your stories are the most talked about stories in the 'Observer'; you should have your own column.'

New York is a city where people are ambitious. They want things.

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

It was ironic, but when you scratched the surface, most successful men were working for one thing only--to retire--and the sooner the better. Whereas women were the complete opposite. She had never heard a woman say she was working so she could retire to a desert island or to live on a boat. It was probably, she thought, because most women didn't think they deserved to do nothing.

That's the difference between girls and women: Girls find men fascinating. Women know better.

I'm really enjoying being single. I'm not even looking to meet anybody, which is so freeing.
