I like having written better than I like having acted.

Come to think of [a handsome young carpenter], Harrison Ford used to be a carpenter.

My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.

The message about sex and relationships that she had gotten as a child... was confused, contradictory. Sex was for men, and marriage, like lifeboats, was for women and children.

My mother certainly loves caviar, but I think that's generational - they grew up thinking it's romantic or sophisticated or something.

Generally someone will eventually tell you that you have to do something to help yourself.

I used to refer to my drug use as putting the monster in the box. I wanted to be less, so I took more - simple as that. Anyway, I eventually decided that the reason Dr. Stone had told me I was hypomanic was that he wanted to put me on medication instead of actually treating me. So I did the only rational thing I could do in the face of such as insult - I stopped talking to Stone, flew back to New York, and married Paul Simon a week later.
