My sense is that beautiful women are living in a different world than I am, and that it's a world with benefits but also drawbacks - like, you're on a ticking clock, because the day you stop being supermodel-beautiful is the day that everything the world has to offer you is no longer being offered.

Jennifer Weiner

Jennifer Weiner
I want to live in a world where people are judged by who they are instead of what size they wear.
Jennifer Weiner
I have the best divorce of anyone I've heard of.
Jennifer Weiner
I think there are a lot of books about thin, attractive people having thin, attractive people's problems. I'm better set up to tell a different story.
Jennifer Weiner
Maybe it was inertia -or worse, fear- that was keeping me in the same place.
Jennifer Weiner
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.
Jennifer Weiner
I'm not cut out to be a famous person I can't do my hair and makeup well enough.
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
I think every person who is single should have a dog. I think the government should step in and intervene: If you're not married or coupled up, whether you've been dumped or divorced or widowed or whatever, they should require you to proceed immediately to the pound nearest you and select an animal companion.
Jennifer Weiner
