Nothing makes me laugh more than farting.

Progress, real progress, makes me cry harder than anything. When the world itself grows.

Nothing, literally nothing, makes me feel like I'm back to my body more than Pilates.

I only come up with things when I am talking to myself, which I do constantly. The sidewalk and the subway are the best places for this. I speak at full volume and then laugh at myself if I like what I just said.

There is nothing in which people more betray their character than in what they laugh at.

I love the Bronte sisters, but I feel a closer kinship to the Ephron sisters, Nora and Delia, if only because their work makes me laugh more than the Brontes. I also love the Mitford sisters with their secret language and their endless letters back and forth.
