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

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

Don't put yourself in situations you'd like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself.

I didn't drink in the essence of the classroom. I didn't take legible notes or dance all night. I thought I would marry my boyfriend and grow old and sick of him. I thought I would keep my friends, and we'd make different, new memories. None of that happened. Better things happened.

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 had always written. I had written stories and poems. Then I started writing plays.

My mom said the term heavy petting existed a lot when she was in high school.
