With 'Attachments,' my goal was to write a really good romantic comedy. I wanted the reader to be smiling throughout.

Attachment to spiritual things is... just as much an attachment as inordinate love of anything else.

I had an attachment disorder.

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be attained only by someone who is detached.

To remember non-attachment is to remember what freedom is all about. If we get attached, even to a beautiful state of being, we are caught, and ultimately we will suffer. We work to observe anything that comes our way, experience it while it is here, and be able to let go of it.

As connected as we are with technology, it's also removed us from having to have human connection, made it more convenient to not be intimate.

Intimacy can be about holding someone's hand. It could be about stroking their hair.

In all our contacts it is probably the sense of being really needed and wanted which gives us the greatest satisfaction and creates the most lasting bond.

In 'Attachments,' which is told from a male point of view, people asked me if a man would really think that much about whether a woman likes him. But I have a husband and three brothers, and they're all like that.

I feel connected to whatever is out there.
