You have to participate relentlessly in the manifestation of your own blessings.

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

I still can’t say whether I ever want children….I can only say how I feel now--grateful to be on my own. I also know that I won’t go forth and have children just in case I might regret missing it later in life; I don’t think this is a strong enough motivation to bring more babies onto the earth.

What I think is amazing is not that 85% of people who get married under the age of 25 get divorced, it's that 15% of them stay together. How did they manage to pull that off? You almost can't wait too long. It's the single simplest measure to predict divorce.

I am determined to make the most of this life that I have, damn it - it's that kind of stubbornness I think we all need more of.

A true soul mate is probably the most important person you'll ever meet, because they tear down your walls and smack you awake.

Stop wearing your wishbone where your backbone ought to be.
