The ’80s was all about this idea that women could have it all. You could have a career, and you could have a husband, and you could have children.

It’s always the people who don’t want things who get them.

I know I’m not a wordsmith. And I don’t write poetry. Sometimes I think I should, because it’s really helpful. But I always wanted to write novels.

I’m looking forward to writing more novels for young adults.

Sometimes I want to be on ‘The Real Housewives of New York.’ I want to remind them to figure out how to get along and support each other.

I don’t consider my work a job. I consider it a career. And you don’t quit a career.

You don’t want to peak in high school. If you do, the rest of your life is a disaster.

There’s so many things that mattered so much in my 20s and 30s that don’t matter now.
