I'm an only child, and I think one of the sweet things about that is that my parents are really interested in every aspect of my life.

In general, I think I'm quick to worry about disasters of all kinds.

I left my job in the fall, and now I can set my life up around writing instead of squeezing writing into my day; it's amazing to have that time, and I feel very lucky.

I think being beautiful is only one aspect of your life.

I think all parents have a double life.

I think that for a child to be in a household... with a situation where the parents are not married, as in being one man and one woman, is not the best household for a child.
