When I write, I picture the characters a certain way in my head, and they're not like any actor or actress. It's almost hard for me to let go of my ideas as to the way they look.

The worst thing about this particular end (of my youth) and the beginning (of middle age) is that for the first time in my life, I realize I don't know where I'm going. My wants are simple: a job that I like and a guy whom I love. And on the eve of my thirteth, I must face that I am 0 for 2.

When you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and sometimes you have to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find the balance.

You can't quantify love, and if you try, you can wind up focusing on misleading factors.

Well, because sometimes you love someone but they might not be the right person for you. That takes some time to figure out

I try to recognize that there is no such thing as having it all - and it's impossible to be perfect. You just have to let certain things go.

You can love someone you mistrust.
