That's the feeling [of relativity] I always had about [Judy Blume] books which I re-read and re-read and re-read.

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.

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

It's not brave to do something that doesn't scare you.

I have never been a physically engaged person. Like, I was not an athletic kid. I was the kid who came up with a thousand excuses not to take a gym class. Even now, if I could, I would do all my work from bed.

I love what I do, I love every minute of it.

I'm always having to be told to brush my hair.
