I would be a horrible girlfriend at this point in my life, because I’m both needy and unavailable.

I do think girls in their twenties accept certain kinds of lesser treatment than they would at other times in their lives.

The fact is that I write under duress, often in my bed, often at the last minute. I'm kind of a binge writer I would say, which I don't support. I was always kind of that way. Probably the time I was the most regular as a writer was college. It was like, what else is there to do when you're living in the Midwest studying creative writing?

I don’t really read reviews… That’s not where my attention goes.

Can we call a moratorium on the use of the term 'ladyparts'? Grazia!

I have sort of a Zen body philosophy, I'm sort of like: we're one weight one day, we're one weight another day, and some day our body just doesn't even exist at all! It's just a vessel I've been given to move through this life. I think about my body as a tool to do the stuff I need to do, but not the be all and end all of my existence. Which sounds like I spent a week at a meditation retreat, but it's genuinely how I feel.

When I write I'm never really thinking about themes or the universal.
