I love 'Fatal Attraction.'

Books and movies are kind of my two great loves. I don't have too many other actual hobbies. That's pretty much it.

I spent a lot of - too much of - my childhood watching movies and thinking about movies.

I was always someone who wanted to write. I was a real shy, bookworm-ish kid, and I think my earliest stuff was fairly dark.

In marriage, it's best to keep perspective. Get out of your head and get some perspective.

My first two novels featured narrators who were aggressively unattached: They couldn't form any sort of genuine relationship. So I had thoroughly explored the geography of loneliness and isolation.

It's important to tell stories, and it's a worthwhile thing to do.

Because I'm a woman writing about women who do bad things, that's somehow very 'other.' When men write that, it's called a novel. It's just a book.

The skill set that lets you be alone in your pyjamas for two years writing a book is not the same skill set that lets you go on television shows like 'The View' or 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.'

I mostly go under the radar, which is fantastic because I would not be a good famous person.
