I write for myself, first and foremost and I also write for people, mostly women, who just want to be seen and heard and all too often aren't.

In truth, feminism is flawed because it is a movement powered by people and people are inherently flawed.

The more successful I get, the more I am reminded that in the minds of a great many people I will never be anything more than my body. No matter what I accomplish, I will be fat, first and foremost.

I can't please everyone. I am trying not to let the pressure consume me.

I am mortified by my music choices.

I love romantic comedies. I know how terrible they are, but I love them! And I don't think that makes me less of a feminist.

The actual act of writing brings me such pleasure - to tell stories, to engage in cultural criticism, to reflect, to question, all of it is invigorating.
