Actually,I am a failed anorexic. I have anorexic thinking, but I can't seem to muster the behavoir

I still give my friends relationship advice, of course, and I'm not bad at it. 'Anyone's crisis but mine' is my motto.

I don't think Christmas is necessarily about things. It's about being good to one another, it's about the Christian ethic, it's about kindness.

Now it's dedicated to my grandparents and to both of my parents. The first book was dedicated to my mother so I thought maybe it was my father's turn, but then I realized that everyone would jump on that and assume I'd had some falling out with my mother, which is absolutely not the case.

I don't want to be caught ... ashamed of anything. And because generally someone who has bipolar doesn't have just bipolar, they have bipolar, and they have a life and a job and a kid and a hat and parents, so its not your overriding identity, it's just something that you have, but not the only thing - even if it's quite a big thing.

I really love the internet. They say chat-rooms are the trailer park of the internet but I find it amazing.

Having waited my entire life to get an award for something, anything...I now get awards all the time for being mentally ill. It’s better than being bad at being insane, right? How tragic would it be to be runner-up for Bipolar Woman of the Year?

I envy people who have the capacity to sit with another human being and find them endlessly interesting, I would rather watch TV. Of course this becomes eventually known to the other person.

I always think of Meryl [Streep] for everything now. There really aren't many actresses around who are truly lucid the way she is.

Tom Hanks was really great [the 'Burbs']. The director, Joe Dante, was wonderful. We filmed it here during the summer, every day at Universal. Even the food was good - I mean it was junk but it was really good. The whole thing was like some ideal summer-school experience. It may not have been the best movie ever, but it was certainly the most fun.

It's very good to get through them (drugs) while you're still young and then talk about how great or bad it was for the rest of your life.

I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.

I'm in denial in its lesser state. It will take me a second. People around me will notice my mania first. And, my depression.

A lot of people have told me, you know, that what I've written about, they identify with strongly.

I have the ability, occasionally, of being able to step out and see who you think I could end up being. And I like to play with that.

You can't really accurately diagnose someone, I think. Or I've been told that.

All my life I've been seeing things through the culture. My father, for instance, was the press's bad boy. People really hated him. He was always a big flirt. He was always in trouble - going bankrupt, whatever.

I'm fond of kissing. It's part of my job. God sent me down to kiss a lot of people.
