I had a great time in my youth and I still feel youthful. I've no desire to look as though I'm in my 20s.

I'm a woman of a certain age who doesn't have kids and never really settled down ... I enjoy kids but not for long periods. I think they're adorable and funny and sweet, and then I have a headache.

When I feel lost and can't make a decision, I just stop and get quiet. I take a time-out.

Practically all the relationships I know are based on a foundation of lies and mutually accepted delusion.

I like my life. It's good.

Being a biological mother just isn't part of my experience this time around. However, I am a mother who continues to give birth to ideas and ways of experiencing life that challenge the norm.

Talented people are written off once they hit their 50s and 60s, and the saddest thing is, we just get better as we get older.
