Now, I've been known to be attractive on special occasions, and I do my best to project as much beauty as I can muster from deep inside, though I often fail.

It should be obvious that I wasn't no honor roll student in high school. My favorite class was boys.

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

It's not that marriage itself is bad; it's the people we marry who give it a bad name.

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

I remember the day I turned thirty. I was getting out of the shower and I stood in front of the mirror and stared at myself for a long time. I examined every inch of my body and appreciated the fact that I finally looked like a grown woman. I also assumed that this was how I was going to look for the rest of my life. The way I saw it, I was never going to age; I'd just look up one day and be old.

I let my characters do the talking, simple as that.
