I've been a vegetarian for years and years. I'm not judgemental about others who aren't, I just feel I cannot eat or wear living creatures.

You can never, never have too many books

The more you do speak from the heart, rather than thumping the agenda, people will listen or relate or open themselves up more.

Putting your name on something and having no idea how it came about if someone else did all the work - that's not me.

Whether you're throwing up or breaking up, you want your girlfriend right there! I don't trust women who don't go to their girlfriends.

There's something liberating about not pretending. Dare to embarrass yourself. Risk.

A thank-you can be just as meaningful as a soulful ten-page message.
