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 think divorce is a tragedy, traumatic and horribly painful for everybody. That's why I wrote 'Smart Women.' I want kids to read that and to think what life might be like for their parents. And I want parents to think about what life is like for their kids.

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

The mere thought of divorce terrified me. To me, divorce symbolized failure.

I did some research into domestic violence, and there were some stories that will stay me with forever.

Divorce was miserable, as it always is, and we divorce for the same reasons we marry.

I actually think the subject of young divorce is pretty funny; I'd like to write a movie about it.

Divorce is something that I never dreamed would happen to me. But it did.

I don't see divorce as a failure. I see it as the end to a story. In a story, everything has an end and a beginning.
