I wanted to play the part that Mary Kay played, the lawyer who wanted to have baby and felt her clock ticking, because it was something I could relate to.

I just loved being divorced from my own wretchedness.

I lived a really wonderful life with this man and even after our divorce, it was incredible.

I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages. You can't divorce a book.

I think if I weren't an actress, I might have made a halfway decent attorney! I like the way they think.

The divorce was the toughest thing in my life. It still hurts.

I didn't expect to be doing a whole bunch of Amber Browns. And because it was just one book, and the father had moved away, I didn't realize I was going to have to deal more with shared custody, divorce and all those issues.

I can't divorce myself from my childhood. I try to write as much fiction as I possibly can, but there are so many things that are touchstones of my childhood like being on the swim team and playing soccer and the particularities of sports season and environments that make their way into my books.

I didn't want a divorce but had to because of circumstance.

I was just on the edge of getting married, and I was frenzied at the prospect of this great step in my life after having been a bachelor for so long. And I really wanted to take my mind off of the agony, and so I decided to sit down and write a book.
