I don"t feel like there are a tremendous amount of roles for the size I am.

I'm just waiting to be 85 and be in a pajama community. Everyone's welcome to join me.

I've only recently realized that I have a radically different relationship with my parents than a lot of people.

Feminism and issues surrounding being female in the world, always, but particularly right now at this complicated cultural moment. It's a huge part of what's important to me.

I always feel that there are two choices for women. Either be totally confident about your non-size-zero body and say, 'I love what I look like and this is who I am,' or be the person who is obsessed with diet and exercise and keeping toned. What feels more realistic to me is that some days I wake up and think I love how I look. On other days I say, 'If I had real self-control, I would be 10 pounds lighter.' That contradiction is, to me, what being a girl actually feels like.

I think breakfast is the one meal when you don't have to eat animal, maybe.

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