What I have yet to see is a real woman choose a younger man because he spent six hours a day at the gym trying to sculpt his abs.

It's a job. When I'm writing I'm going to do it five to six days a week and I'm going to work for four to six hours a day. There's no magic writing fairy. It's just hard work.

The fact that a man is open to being with an older woman suggests that he doesn't give a hang what other people think of him. More likely, he's confident, open-minded and willing to make his own rules.

I'm looking for love. Real love. Ridiculous, inconvenient, consuming, can't-live-without-each-other love.

The '90s are really the 'Sex and the City' woman, and I think, right now, the new contemporary woman is the 'Lipstick Jungle' woman.

The most important thing to strive for in life is some kind of personal and professional achievement. Not as a man or a woman, but as a person.
