I don't just want to catch some guy and have a bunch of kids. I want to make something of myself.

You'd be surprised how fast things happen when the right man comes along.

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

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 grew up with my father, so I know more about cars than most women.

I am endlessly busy, bringing up five young kids, and trying to keep up with the three older ones. I still spend most of my life driving car pools.

You could never predict what would happen. There was an element of destiny in everything that one could never account for.
