If people cannot be flawed in fiction there's no place left for us to be human.

I love how I can see [on Twitter] some of the thoughts and ideas of my favorite cultural figures and still also chatter with my friends and family. It's a cocktail party with a fraction of the awkwardness of an actual cocktail party.

I never imagined that I would be the kind of person who is recognized when I am out and about just living my life.

I write because I love doing it.

I approach most things in life with a dangerous level of confidence to balance my generally low self-esteem.

I am a bad feminist and a good woman. I am trying to become better in how I think and say and do - without abandoning what makes me human.

Twitter has allowed the conversation to broaden and become more inclusive. At times, the conversation is really tense but that's because we're talking about really important issues. It's not going to be easy but at least the conversations are happening.
