I'm a one-woman guy. I think that if you can find someone you want to spend the rest of your life with, you should marry them instantly, and try to stay married.

As a kid, I spent an awful lot of time pretending I was somebody else. I think growing up in the 1980s wasn't very exciting so you kind of create this secret life of an alternate person. You pretend to be whatever you need to be that day, so you live in that dream world.

Even though I've had the body of work I've had, and the success I've had, I do not rest on my laurels whatsoever.

You go through your 20s sort of like a chrysalis in many ways, stretching into your own skin and trying to bust out of a cocoon.

I think if one wants to be in a continual state of insanity one should stay married to that writing partner.

I like being 30. I wouldn't want to do the twenties again. They are their own entity.
