Don't live down to expectations. Go out there and do something remarkable.

to live life as a writer is a very lucky thing.

Being a grownup means assuming responsibility for yourself, for your children, and - here's the big curve - for your parents.

I really worked at becoming more assertive, and now none of my friends talk to me.
