I try to write about the stuff that torments us all.

It's hard being visible, so I've made myself invisible.

People are so obsessed with that these days. As long as you're healthy, what difference do a few pounds make? Crazy diets. Thirteen-year-old girls on magazine covers who wind up in hospitals because they're so anorexic. Real women don't look like that. And who wants them to? No one wants a woman who looks sick or like she;s been from a refugee camp.

I'm not an aging gracefully type. But I do believe in aging with grace.

I once looked like Norman Mailer in a picture with bad lighting.

For the moment, my life is a little schizophrenic.

My early reviews were so bad that I decided I didn't want to read them again.
