I'm not a polemicist; I had no business writing a polemic.

No one could save me from the grief of losing my child or losing my first marriage. I had to do that on my own.

People didn't like me; I was loud and aggressive. People can take it from a 42-year-old, but when you're a little kid, and people are like, 'You're loud and awful,' you think, 'I guess I am awful,' so writing and figuring out how to put things into words was the way I felt better.

A wedding, a great wedding, is just a blast. A celebration of romance and community and love... What is unfun about that? Nothing.

I don't hear women who are less privileged thinking they're entitled to everything, whenever they want it. That's a privilege phenomenon, but it is a phenomenon.

I liked the idea of being the kind of woman who'd go to the Gobi desert pregnant.
