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

I've heard a lot of editors and agents say, "If the book is good, it will get published." I totally disagree with that.

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.

It is radical for a woman to choose to survive and to choose to eat anything.

I don't make fun of my characters. I just like to laugh and I think people are funny and the world is funny.

No one really wants to be laughed at.

I've always been a teaser, even as a kid.
