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

You can only control your own actions. Not other people’s reactions.

A son is a son 'til he gets a wife, but a daughter is a daughter all her life.

Love and friendship. They are what make us who we are, and what can change us, if we let them.

...love is the sum of our choices, the strength of our commitments, the ties that bind us together.

Maybe the thing to do after you roll the dice-and lose-is simply pick them up and roll them again.

When you’re in love, sometimes you have to swallow your pride, and sometimes you have to keep your pride. It’s a balance. But when the relationship is right, you find the balance.

I think of how each person in a marriage owes it to the other to find individual happiness, even in a shared life. That this is the only way to grow together, instead of apart.

Life's not black-and-white. Sometimes the ends justifies the means.

Although I'm sure there are plenty of tall, gorgeous, life-of-the-party guys who are also true to their wives, I happen to believe that a disproportionate number of them are cheaters.

I think it's important to try to be present with whatever it is you're doing. And if you can't be present, take a break.

Listen to 'The Voice', not the choice

Dragons have been known to have staring contests with mountains. They usually win.

I did rocks, all this dumb stuff. But now it's just trying to stay afloat and just get through the days.

I keep things real simple because I know where I came from and I don't ever want to go back to that way of living.

Graffiti doesn't exist unless someone got a photo, because it's gone immediately.

God does not hear the prayers of a Jew.

If you don't have a hologram, how can you understand what's going on in the news? Right? Am I right?

You know, if you were *really* going to starve, you'd be justified in writing proprietary software.

Drunkenness doesn't create vices, but it brings them to the fore.

Life should serve up its feast of experience in a series of courses.
