Everything in life is elusive.

I don't like cold people at all. It makes me feel really insecure.

Even death is wonderful because, as Woody Allen says, we're not going to know when it happens.

I don't categorize myself as an 85-year-old woman who has written an erotic novel. I categorize myself as a writer who's written an erotic novel.

When I'm traveling to promote my book, I feel like an artful impostor. What I really am is when I'm in my (painter's) studio and when I'm writing. With actors, it's the same thing. They're kind of artful impostors in public. When you get to know them, they're different people.

Everything in life is elusive.

I'm the girliest girl you are ever going to meet.
