The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.

Judy Blume excels at describing how it feels to be invisible. So how poetic is it that Blume herself is suddenly everywhere?

I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.

The public's appetite for frothy, flippant blondes has waned, but Paris Hilton still fascinates me.
