I think that life force is invaluable.

There are so many ebbs and flows in life, but when you're raising small children, your family means everything.

I guess I'm lucky to have been blindsided. I'm lucky to have gotten into fistfights, in a way. I'm lucky I learned how to stop them.

To be with a man who hasn't tried every line, who hasn't broken up with a woman every which way you can break up with them, is kind of nice.

My washing machine overwhelms me with its options and its sophistication.

Urban women don't breed in their twenties. Shortly after, I became a mother too, which is why I was probably so child friendly.

It's one of the things that weirdly I always used to like about my job: that expressing the emotions of a writer or someone creative and breathing empathy and life into a character people can then identify with, that they'd feel less alone.
