The "we" voice is rare, and the communal impulse of the "we" is interesting to me.

Don't you think almost anything can be funny? Almost anything.

It's really difficult to know what is the best way forward when you're not getting a lot of support - and probably most writers aren't getting enough support.

I laugh when I'm writing. I feel like all my work is funny to me.

Nice girls are not supposed to be hungry. They are not supposed to feed themselves or care about their own food. They're definitely not supposed to take food out of a child's mouth.

When the kids were growing up, I think they thought the worst thing about me being a mom is that I would laugh at them. They would say something that they thought was serious and intense and I would laugh. I thought it was funny, but they don't want to be laughed at.

There are so many people who write really interesting work and try super hard and still don't get published.
