I respect so much the work that so many women do, but that's just not what I do. I have a job where I advertise yogurt that makes you poop, and people love it and tell me about their bowel movements, every day.

Pick clothes that you really love. And wear them. And don't make anything "special." If it's being held for something "special," wear it to the market. Wear it every day!

Actually, the books were never a planned career path.

I work with The National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University. I sit proudly as one of only two recovering addicts on their board.

The dog actors and the relationship they have with their trainers is one of the most beautiful things I've ever watched happen in front of me.

To make new friends you have be willing to put in the time.

Now all of a sudden I'm so less interested in pretending to be a lot of other people, and much more interested in being me.
