Quote

I've never had a divorce, but I've seen so many of my friends, my sister, my family go through that stuff, so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow, so I'm able to kind of express it, or their joy.

I decided to write about the myths of divorce.

Divorce is hard and painful and complicated, and something you have to grow through.

Writers don't make good spouses. When I am writing, I'm not a good wife. I shut myself away, and all my emotions are directed towards what I'm trying to write.

A divorce is like an amputation: you survive it, but there's less of you.

Divorce doesn't fit my cookie-cutter image.

What's going to be hard for me is to try to divorce myself as much as possible from what I wrote. I'll have to approach it simply as raw material and try to craft a film script out of it.

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

Divorce is brutal and horrible and... you have to actively work to get your life back on track.

Divorce is a 50-50 thing, and it can be a number of petty things that finally drive you out of your mind.
