We all of us deserve happiness or none of us does.
From Mary Gordon
In my early life, I was a professional folk singer. I used to sing on the national television and radio in Canada. Nobody knows that - but now I've said it, haven't I? I'm strictly a shower singer at the minute.
My weakness is 'American Idol.' My husband thinks it's ridiculous. But I am so inspired by those young people who are singing their guts out.
My favorite dish is bibimbap, which is composed of various vegetables, steamed and pickled, and meat toppings over a bed of rice.
I would trade any writerly success if it would mean my children would be happy.
I could not write without my dog, Rhoda, a Lab-chow mix.
My mother really loved me. And one of the gifts that I have been given is that I have never thought for one second of my life that I was not greatly beloved.
My life is so much better than I thought it was going to be.
It was actually a women's writing group I belonged to in graduate school that gave me the courage to move from poetry to fiction.
I wasn't thinking about my pension plan until about two years ago. When I was in my twenties, the idea that you'd be thinking of taking a job based on its health-care policy was completely foreign. But these days young people are thinking about these things.
