Quote

I write about the men you want to read about but don't necessarily want to be married to.

The idea of being a novelist is really romantic, but it's kind of the same as being president of the United States - it's not gonna happen.

I don't want to be a fusty old lady writer.

Well, you know, I'm quite a reluctant writer. I'm not someone who set out to be a writer or really wanted to be.

I would never want to get married.

A bad author can take the most moral issue and make you want to just never, ever think about that moral issue.

You don't want to marry somebody who's just like you.

I definitely don't want to get married just for the sake of getting married.

My temperament is not geared to that of a novelist.

Personally, I have never wished I were a male novelist.
