My husband says I have too much imagination, but I don't think a writer can have too much imagination!

I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.

The only thing that works with writing is that you care so passionately about it yourself, that you make someone else care passionately about it.

We must, we must, we must increase our bust.

I can't let safety and security become the focus of my life.

"Summer Sisters" was actually was a huge influence on "Girls" because it was the first thing I ever consumed that sort of looked at the way that female friendship can be glorious and can be complicated and can be so like a worse betrayal than something romantic and it just showed these archetypes of femininity than totally sort of individuated them and exploded them.

"Margaret" was just my truth. It was what I knew to be true about sixth grade.
