When you’ve found the right one - when you see him, when you’re with him - you’ll feel like you’re coming home.

An idea in the head is like a rock in the shoe; I just can't wait to get it out.

Saying hello to something new means saying good-bye to something old and loved.

One way to tell if you're really comfortable with a person is if you can be quiet together sometimes and not feel awkward. If you don't feel obligated to say something brilliant or funny or surprising or cool. You can just be together. You can just be.

Once I have the idea for a story. I start collecting all kinds of helpful information and storing it in three-ring notebooks. For example, I may see a picture of a man in a magazine and say, 'That's exactly what the father in my book looks like!'...I save everything that will help--maps, articles, hand-jotted notes, bits of dialogue from conversations that I overhear.

Happiness is wanting what you have.

You don't have to be part of a couple to be happy, you know.
