What I object to is the hyper-fetishized wedding day, the prioritizing of wedding over marriage. I have a real problem with couples spending far more time discussing the seating arrangement or the color of the bridesmaid's gowns than hashing out, for instance, their feelings about how they intend to handle questions of housework, child-rearing, finances and fidelity for the next four or five decades.

I spent a week living as a man. Which was actually, I'm sorry to say, embarrassingly easy for me to do.

I equal parts loved him and could not stand him. I couldn't wake him to share in my distress.

Teach your heart that this is destiny

True power comes from standing in your own truth and walking your own path.

Traveling is the great true love of my life... I am loyal and constant in my love of travel. I feel about travel the way a happy new mother feels about her impossible, colicky, restless newborn baby - I just don't care what it puts me through. Because I adore it. Because it's mine. Because it looks exactly like me.

A fish and a bird may indeed fall in love, but where shall they live?
