There's so many things that mattered so much in my 20s and 30s that don't matter now.

As I'm writing, certain things become clear to me and certain things begin to feel right and make sense. The pieces start to fall into place.

You need characters who want things. They want love, they want recognition, they want happiness.

I actually don't shop very much. I have a tendency to rotate a few pairs of ripped jeans and an old cashmere sweater.

New York is a city where people are ambitious. They want things.

I love things that are old and glittery, that come with layers of glamour and past lives.
