The human condition is imperfection. And that's how it's supposed to be.

It's always better to have what you have than to get what you wanted.

All my main characters are people I'd love to sit around having coffee with. They are people who will tell you honestly about the things that scare them and worry them and trouble them. Because those moments of connection between women-when they really decide to be honest with each other about their lives-are some of the best things in life.

If you feel lucky, then you are.

What matters most is how you respond to your heartbreaks and your disappointments and your fears. What matters most is who you become in response to them.

There is no question that the objects that surround us impact our experience of the world.

There is no tenderness without bravery.
