More quotes by Jennifer Weiner
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.
Jennifer Weiner
I'm going to continue writing. I'll always be a storyteller. But I'm also taking time to enjoy my life.
Jennifer Weiner
Whenever people with money have power over people with less money, you have the potential for exploitation.
Jennifer Weiner

Jennifer Weiner
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.
Jennifer Weiner
Do I want to spend my diminished working hours writing or answering email? Now I have somebody read through them. If someone has something really important to tell me I write back. Otherwise they get the auto reply.
Jennifer Weiner

Jennifer Weiner
Maybe love was a myth anyhow, a brew of hormones and fantasy, evolution's way of getting men and women together long enough for them to procreate,back in the day when girls got pregnant at twelve, were pregnant or nursing for the next twenty years, and were dead of the plague by forty.
Jennifer Weiner
Things happen, and you can't make them unhappen. You don't get do-overs, you can't roll back the clock, and the only thing you can change, and the only thing it does any good to worry about, is how you let them affect you.
Jennifer Weiner
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.
Jennifer Weiner
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.
Jennifer Weiner
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. You have everything you need, my mother had told me. And maybe all I needed was the courage to admit that what I needed was someone to lean on.
Jennifer Weiner
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.
Jennifer Weiner
If you wish for something hard enough, the fairy tales teach us, you can get it in the end. But it's hardly ever the way you thought it would be, and the endings aren't always happy ones.
Jennifer Weiner
Women are far and away the bigger consumers of fiction than men, but men are still far and away the more reviewed, the more critically esteemed, the more respected. That can get frustrating.
Jennifer Weiner
I don't particularly like being angry about stuff. I'd rather hang out with my daughter and write my little books.
Jennifer Weiner
Hefty? I'd railed to Peter, waving the clipping for emphasis. Hefty? For the record 'Hefty' is a trash bag. I'm festively plump.
Jennifer Weiner
There are a lot of women like me in the world, and we rarely get to see ourselves.
Jennifer Weiner
People are always coming up to me with my books and saying, 'You write these things I think but I could never say,'
Jennifer Weiner
I think it has as much to do with honoring my own voice as it does with feeling a responsibility to my readers or my daughters.
