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.

Pay enough for anything and it passes for taste.

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

I started writing seriously when I was 18, wrote my first novel when I was 22, and I've never stopped writing since.

My second husband and I were going through a bitter divorce, and I didn't have the money for a fancy-pants attorney. I didn't know how to fight, so I'd lie awake at night and think of ways to kill him. But I knew I'd get caught, so I decided to put it in a book and get paid for it! I always think it's odd that a whole career came out of that homicidal impulse.

Sometimes I claim I write because I put in an application at Sears and they've never called back.
