I want to be doing something that I love and actually being able to feed myself by doing it.
I don't mind the term 'feminist.'
Marriage is amazing.
In a healthy relationship, there is stability and security.
Long story short: E. L. James is a hero.
I wouldn't be a writer if I couldn't tell the truth.
I don't want to read about the fabricated version of someone's life. I want to know what haunts you, what are you ashamed of, what embarrasses you, what do you wish was different?
It was hard to write about my dad for the first book because I know how sensitive he is. I knew he wasn't going to take it as well as my mom, who can kind of roll with the punches and is used to having me tell her everything she has done wrong as a parent.
I never had a go-to girl squad. I think that I'm only friends with loners, so I have a select group of loners that I hang out with individually.
My brother and I have never been that close. We have different mothers and never lived in the same house. As kids, my sister, Samantha, and I lived in San Diego and Brad in Brooklyn. The only time I saw him was in the summer when our visitations with our father overlapped.
Chelsea Handler is a good friend of mine, and I always was inspired by the fact that she was taking her life and turning it into these ridiculous, raunchy memoirs. She really has a talent, and she's a great writer. I was inspired by her trajectory.
I don't think enough women are being honest about motherhood.
I don't know how not to share.
My greatest fear for my child is that he marries a woman exactly like me.
