I try to stress to my children that buying something never leads to true happiness.

So basically your plan is to flail about helplessly.

I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

I pretty much only wear Lilly Pulitzer ties because my best friend owns the company.

I always say three things make a writer: inspiration, obviously; perspiration, doing the work. But the third is desperation. I'm not really fit for anything else, or to have a real job. That fear drives me. The pressure has always been self inflicted.

"So basically, that entire theory is blown to hell."Not basically," Win corrected. "Entirely."

That’s the problem with falling in love. It makes you start talking like a bad country song
