I feel like I'm one of the happiest people I know.

I have not spent years in therapy; I tried therapy in my mid-twenties, and it did not go very well. I just thought, 'This is so not for me. I would rather talk to one of my girlfriends.' I'm not at a point in my life when I'm analyzing too much. I have young children, and I'm just pretty much crazed.

I feel like I'm one of the happiest people I know.

I love stories that give me a perspective on how easy American life has become in the 21st century.

I get to play a lot of hysterics.

I've seen a lot of the United States, having stayed in so many different cities and towns for work. It's such a strange and fascinating country, and instead of learning about it through a textbook, I would rather discover its history and traditions and institutions through fiction and nonfiction writers.

The older you get, the more you realize that the way you look is a reflection of how you treat yourself.
