In my opinion, a problem derails your life and an inconvenience is not being able to get a nice seat on the un-derailed train.

My mother is an extraordinary woman, extraordinary.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

Nobody wants to read about a good-looking happy person.

I spent a year in a 12-step program, really committed, because I could not believe what had happened - that I might have killed myself.

I grew up knowing that I had the prettiest mother of anyone in my class.

I like having written better than I like having acted.
