I thought about starting a novella club because it seemed less ambitious.

At my age, no one is married, no one has kids, no one has a career.

Katherine Heiny's work does something magical: elevates the mundane so that it has the stakes of a mystery novel, gives women's interior lives the gravity they so richly deserve -- and makes you laugh along the way.

I think that it's very important to be with someone who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. In some sense, your partner is a mirror, and you have to like what they're reflecting back at you.

All my freakouts have been pretty private and directed at family pets and/or people I have been dating for too short a time to freak out at in that way.

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

When I was nine, I wrote a vow of celibacy on a piece of paper and ate it.
