Life sweeps you up. Some people resist a lot. I probably haven't resisted very much.

I've learned that every working mom is a superwoman.

I still love the people I’ve loved, even if I cross the street to avoid them.

Tall, sandy blonde, with sort of blue eyes, skinny in places, fat in others. An average gal.

I would love to do something like Austin Powers to show off my comic timing.

Boredom is a great motivator.

I grew up in a mostly Buddhist environment.

Thats when you know youve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f**k up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.

Change is usually preceded by some kind of drift.

It's taken me a long time to learn to accept the risks and just be willing to try it over and over again.

Life throws challenges and every challenge comes with rainbows and lights to conquer it

Gone! And you and I quite crestfallen. It’s always like that, you can’t keep him; it’s not as if he were a tame lion.

I played Hamlet, I played Chekhov and Ibsen and all the classics.

People that call old leads, drive old cars.

The loss of my parents was definitely the hardest thing I've had to endure. I just felt really dead inside for a long time.

At a Boston signing, someone from the audience asked why I was so obsessed with furniture in my books. The question rattled around in my head. I had no idea that I was obsessed with furniture.

How would I ever know when that moment was right, when expectation met anticipation and formed...connection?

It's easy to say ''no!'' when there's a deeper ''yes!'' burning inside.
