Back then I confused passions and orgasms with love. It look me years to realize the two weren't synonymous.

What I do know is sometimes we love the wrong people and sometimes we marry them.

I can't stand that - those women in 'Waiting to Exhale' now. I can't stand them. But that's because I'm 53 and not 33. But what they were experiencing at 33, I identified with it.

I'm not trying to be a middle aged centerfold, I just want to look at myself naked and not be disgusted.

The best rush in the world is getting something at 80 percent off.

You know, one of my fears about living alone so long is that you get used to doing everything your own way.

I take what people feel and think, especially when it's different from, very seriously, and I find it liberating.
