I have these wonderful homes, and no one to share them with.

There's no style, nobody dresses up-you can't be chic [in San Francisco]

I used to think when I had children that somebody else had the rule book and they hadn't given it to me, and everybody else knew how to do it right except me. I find the same thing in writing: you think that everybody knows what they're doing and that you don't.

I studied literature design and fashion design.

This is fusion, when two people become one. They are so close and so well suited to each other that they blend together. They merge and can't live without each other after that.

I move between San Francisco and Paris... I have a wonderful beach house in California.

Like a small animal burrowing into its hole, I shift furniture around, and back myself into a cozy corner, with my back to the wall...and then I can write.
