I don't have a normal job, so I really appreciate having friends who are writers and artists. It's fun to have a group of people you can call in the middle of the day to go for a hike.

Basically I have, like, five really close friends - girls and guys. I like being friends with both because you can do different things with both.

Well, right now, I'm very fascinated with 1920s Berlin. I mean, probably the more interesting thing would be to go to the beginning of civilization or precivilization - like polytheistic times. It would be interesting to see what came before modern religion and culture - what circumstances created the environment or the need for it.

I wonder how people decided that women were supposed to shave their legs and armpits

Accept your lack of knowledge and use it as your asset.

Cute is when your personality shines through your looks.

Your relationship with your husband should be an important part of your private life, but publicly you should be able to define yourself.
