I don't particularly like being angry about stuff. I'd rather hang out with my daughter and write my little books.
Jennifer Weiner
Image
I wrote my first books when I was single and then I got married and then had a kid and there were different things happening in my life.

Many writers secretly long to be performers. You always get the 'if you weren't a writer' question. I would be a back-up singer, to stand in the back and go like 'do, do, do.

I was lucky to receive help at the beginning of my career and now I want to help other writers as much as I can.

I think it's a very old and deep-seated double standard that holds that when a man writes about family and feelings, it's literature with a capital L, but when a woman considers the same topics, it's romance, or a beach book - in short, it's something unworthy of a serious critic's attention.

I decided.. that I could go on being scared forever, that I could keep walking, that I could carry my rage around, hot and heavy in my chest forever. But maybe there was another way.

People will want you to behave a certain way, to make a certain choice because it reinforces the way they see the world...But you have to do what's right for you.

I'm going to continue writing. I'll always be a storyteller. But I'm also taking time to enjoy my life.
Jennifer Weiner
Image
My publisher feels that my readers are loyal to the voice of my stories, the characters I'm creating.

My book sales make 'real writers' possible.

The idea you can tell a writer of a specific religion to stop writing about that religion is presumptuous.

It's as if the fasion designers decided that once a woman hit a certain weight, she'd have no need for business suits, for skirts and blazers, for anything except glorified sweatsuits, and they tried to apologize for dressing us like overaged Teletubbies by silk-screening daisies on the tops.

Head's all empty, I don't care,' he'd sing to me, quoting the Grateful Dead, and I'd force a smile, thinking that my head was never empty and that if it ever was, you could be darn sure I'd care.

If you put a pink cover on something, critics make a certain set of assumptions and may not even read the book. But my readers are happy with it.

I don't think any writer chooses what his or her work is called.

I have the best divorce of anyone I've heard of.

People say I'm not good at writing about men. My dad left when I was 16. Give me a break. I'm doing the best I can.
