[My grandparents] were from Texas. El Paso. White trash.

I did the traditional thing with falling in love with words, reading books and underlining lines I liked and words I didn't know. It was something I always did.

Meg Ryan was nice [ in When Harry Met Sally] ... the writing was good ... but it was really kind of a boy's club, I mean, there was Bruno Kirby, Rob Reiner, Billy Crystal - talk about your testosterone trio!

People see me and they squeal like tropical birds or seals stranded on the beach.

Sex was for men. Marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.

No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.

You're not famous until you're a Pez dispenser.
