Victoria heard across the wedding reception dance floor "You're loveable"!

It's difficult to talk to people... I walk into a room and I'm Danielle Steel, and whatever I say is going to be taken apart.

What intrigues me is the difference in how women experience power, and how men do.

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

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.

.. that terrible feeling that you're not good enough to be loved by the people you love most, and eventually by anyone else.

I don't buy trends, because the pieces don't last and I wind up never wearing them. That's why I like to shop with my children; they'll always tell me the truth.
