I try to write about real women, real people - in other words flawed characters.

I'm writing about real things. Real people. Real characters. You have to believe what I write about is true or you wouldn't pay any attention at all. Sometimes it's me, or a composite of me and other people. Sometimes it's not me at all.

It takes a real designer to design for real women.

In other words, Judaism is not Calvinism.

There are women who only look at another woman's shoes and never at her face.
And others who always look women in the face and only occasionally at their shoes.

When you decide to stop fitting in with a world you don't fit in, you start seeing who your real friends are.
