Oftentimes, when a woman demands accountability, respect, or consideration, she is crazy or nagging or whatever.

The idea of life in France is a utopia where the women are beautiful and they eat cheese all day and wear designer clothes and are magically thin and more evolved. And that's wonderful. Over here, we're still fighting for birth control.

I see my tweets as a current joining a bunch of other currents in the world's craziest ocean.

Truth can hurt so very much.

I've always wanted to be a writer. I've been writing since I was probably four years old - it was nonsense, but it was still my little attempts at being a storyteller.

With my writing, I generally just pretend that no one's reading it. I allow myself that delusion so that I can write the things that I write.

I think hunger is a natural state of being for most people. I mean, hunger is a desire - and you don't only have physical hunger, you have emotional hunger. A lot of my hungers are, in fact, emotional. I think a lot of fat people's hungers are emotional. There are things we very much want, and it can be so difficult to satisfy those hungers. Yet we try. We try so hard.
