People who know me, recognize a definite difference in my poise and in my personality, because I've grown.

There are a few things that tend to infuriate me. One is ignorance, because I have become accustomed to speaking to very intelligent people like Gore Vidal and Al Franken on a regular basis, since dating Bill Maher.

I've never been a model, I was an actress for like a minute, but I've always been a writer. That's where I'm going to stay.

I remember specifically my mother telling me growing up don't put my business in the street. I was like seven, and I am like, 'What does that mean.

I'm surprised that people think they're important. To me they're not.

I've always had a man's mindset, and that's why I mostly have men friends and that's why I've been around so many men. I've always been a tomboy. And any man that knows me will tell you I'm not a girly girl.

I don't even listen to hip-hop anymore. All my friends are white and over 40.
