I write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.

I just did in my early twenties what most did when they were teenagers, being free and exploring and making mistakes, but I did it in France. I did it privately.

The wonderful thing about books is you never run out of them, you can just keep going. So I'm always finding new writers, or old writers that I just happen not to have read.

From my experience, forgiving is the only way to survive.

When I was turning 40, I felt that there were no books out there that hit the spot in terms of what I wanted to read.

Whatever it is that gives you that confidence will vary from person to person, but I do believe that it is the key to succeeding at anything in life - career, relationships, anything.

I think that it is real important for someone to be really honest and open emotionally. I'm really an emotional person. If I'm that way and the guy isn't that way I just really feel like a jerk.
