I'm not trying to make myself look like a girl because I'm not a girl anymore. I'm very happy about being a grown woman.

You can only sleep your way to the middle; you have to claw your way to the top.

If I was just normally intelligent, I could probably get away with it - but I'm fiercely intelligent and that's threatening.

I think for a long time people just did not know what to do with me. I looked like a Barbie doll and then I had this voice like I spend my life in a bar, and I said things that were alarming and had ideas that didn't make sense.

When I'm with my friends' teenage children, I always say, 'Are your friends having sex yet?'

You know, sometimes I feel well and vital in the world, and sometimes I just feel so distressed I want to pull my hair out by the roots.

Women might be able to fake orgasms. But men can fake whole relationships.
