It takes two people to make a friendship work

Life is not a plot; it's in the details.

I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It's bound to disappoint you.

I was starting to see that what looks like garbage from one angle might be art from another. Maybe it did take a crisis to get to know yourself; maybe you needed to get whacked hard by life before you understood what you wanted out of it.

In Poland, for a while, my books all had cartoons on the cover. I trust my publishers in each country to know what works in their individual markets.

There are some nights when you just want to know there's someone else besides you in this wide world.

You can’t undo something that’s happened; you can’t take back a word that’s already been said out loud.
