I try to live life so that I can live with myself.

We have this weird thing in the world where you don't get insulted for what you do, you get insulted for who you are.

But mothers lie. It's in the job description.

I'm just reveling in the glory of not having to hear the neediness and impotence of my own voice.

That smile could end wars and cure cancer.

Getting a life’ is something only a complete idiot could believe. Like you can just drive to a store and get a life. See it in its shiny box and look inside the plastic window and catch a glimpse of yourself in a new life and say, ‘Wow, I look much happier — I think this is the life I need to get!’, take it to the counter, ring it up, put it on your credit card. If getting a life was that easy, we’d be one blissed-out race.

It is very sad to me that some people are so intent on leaving their mark on the world that they don’t care if that mark is a scar.
