I think women love to read love stories.

Sometimes I wonder if there's something wrong with me. Perhaps I've spent too long in the company of my literary romantic heroes, and consequently my ideals and expectations are far too high.

All a writer wants is to be read, and people are so flattering and lovely. I mean, there are witches out there as well. But most are so kind.

It's much easier to wear your pain on the outside.

Once you're in charge of your job, your house, your children, getting the food on the table, doing all of this, all of the time, it'd be nice for someone else to be in charge for a bit maybe.

Any relationship that you have is about negotiation - anything - whether there is a written contract or not.

It's very hard to grow up in a perfect family when you're not perfect.
