There is no way that my mother hasn't influenced my career. She's my first critic. She's my best critic. She has the best instincts from writing to style to editing, to the visual elements of my career.

When I graduated college I had a series of just humiliating jobs that I couldn't believe I was at.

I am thinking particularly of a shower I took where the lower half of my body was under the running water and the upper half was laid out on the bath mat, eating a loaf of bread.

It’s interesting to see how other people react to an oversharer.
