Nothing you write is ever lost to you. At some other level your mind is working on it.

Most sex doesn't really bring people together. You have to reach a certain level of connection, I think, and that's pretty rare.

Each day that I don't write I get more fragmented.

As a past president of the Writers Guild, I think women shouldn't write for free. Maybe you have to do it for a time, to make a reputation, but I think the idea of giving your work away is the beginning of authors not being able to make a living.

I don't think you will ever fully understand how you've touched my life and made me who I am. I don't think you could ever know just how truly special you are that even on the darkest nights you are my brightest star

Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man.

Each one an antidote to the one that went before. Each one a reaction, an about-face, a rebound.
