The fact is, there's no such thing as "The Age of Abstinence."

I had self-doubt about whether my story was interesting to people. I didn't want to write something that was anecdotal. It was important to me that people would get something out of my book. I want people to read it and say, "Now I don't feel so alone," or "I'm going to remember that next time I'm being an asshole."

It's really nice to see that, looking at all sides of the abortion issue - from the person who doesn't want to have kids so they're going to have an abortion and that's not traumatic for them, to somebody who loses a wanted pregnancy, to somebody who has complicated feelings because of their religion. We can talk about all of those complicated and individual stories and not feel like there's any one abortion story that's right or wrong.

I'm not sure I'm okay with 2 guys gettin' married, but I don't wanna be a jerk about it.

I'm a firm believer of wine.

Really life is about narcissism; no one is ever thinking about you much. You always think people are thinking about you way more than they are.

When you go out for drinks, tell people to bring in a news story that made them say "Oh my god." Talk about it.
