You can quit smoking, and never have to have a cigarette again to survive. But with food, it is a daily challenge.

I just think structure can make a book feel so much bigger. It's the architecture. You could use flimsy materials if you wanted to, even, but it could still feel big.

I love reading books that you can't put down, and they just take you over for a night or a weekend.

Please make me either relatable or terrible.

Maybe just as many women writers as male writers could be billed as the next great American writer by their publisher. Maybe book criticism sections could review an equal amount of female and male writers. Maybe Oprah could start putting some books by women authors in her book club, since most of her audience is women.

People judge you because of your weight and your food issues. It's very visual.

In its current incarnation in my life touring is a lot of airports and hotels and car services and only OK food.
