When we, as young women, are given the space to read, the act becomes a happy, private corner we can return to for the rest of our lives. We develop this love of reading by turning to stories that speak to the most special, secret parts of us.

I used to think Twitter was a waste of time and sort of ran counter to my ability to be productive and to write and now Twitter feels like a really cool part of the creative experience.

I would go to work from 9 to 6, go home, nap for two hours, then write from 8 to 2 a.m.

I just don't want to be around people who don't hate everything in their life right now.

We're living in a world where [Judy Blume] books were ever banned, and now like "Fifty Shades of Grey" is being read in high schools. Like it's just a wild.

I always thought the saddest feeling in life is when you're dancing in a really joyful way and then you hit your head on something.

I think romantic comedy, when done right, is my favorite genre. It's just a genre that's very human.
