After my years in Hollywood, I got tired of apologizing for work that really wasn't mine to begin with.

That's the way the system works. Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you.

Happiness is seasonal, like anything else

My job as the writer is to fool you. Your job as the reader is to see if you can catch me at it.

The hard thing about death is that nothing ever changes. The hard thing about life is that nothing stays the same.

You can’t save others from themselves because those who make a perpetual muddle of their lives don’t appreciate your interfering with the drama they’ve created. They want your poor-sweet-baby sympathy, but they don’t want to change.

Sometimes being fooled by love is worth the price. At least you know you're alive and capable of feeling, even if all you end up with is chest pain.
