I am continually fascinated at the difficulty intelligent people have in distinguishing what is controversial from what is merely offensive.

Eat every meal as if it's your last; when the last one comes, you probably won't be very hungry.

I'm not one of those people who think you should go grey and that there is some virtue in looking wrinkly if you don't feel like it. If you do, great. If you don't, just my only caution is watch out. There are a huge number of wrinkle creams that do nothing for you.

people in New Orleans really care about food, care about it passionately, can spend hours arguing over whether Antoine's is better than Galatoire's or the other way around ... in New Orleans, there is basically nothing to do but eat and then argue about it.

I try to write parts for women that are as complicated and interesting as women actually are.

Women are being considered as candidates for vice-president of the United States because it is the worst job in America. It's amazing that men will take it. A job with real power is first lady. I'd be willing to run for that. As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.

It's much easier to get over someone if you can delude yourself into thinking you never really cared that much.
