I think a neurotic learns from their mistakes. A psychotic does not.

It's all in her walk, a cartoon swagger. Part Jayne Mansfield, part Muhammad Ali. Men never know if it's an invitation upstairs or an invitation outside.

You can have this kind of love. You can have it. You just grab it. Of course the problem with having that love is that you can lose it, too.

No one ever loved you like him. And no one ever took it away so completely. But it's here. Look around.

He was a super shiny boy and I liked the shape of him. Under the blanket. In the shower. I liked his shadow on the street and his imprint on the sofa. I hated the smell of hair gel on his head, but I loved it on the pillow. I love the smell of losing someone.

I enjoy films where two characters are coming of age, just different ages. That's why I love 'Paper Moon' so much.

I think that's the function of a lot of psychiatrists and therapists, is keeping people afloat just long enough for them to get older.
