More quotes by Marian Keyes
For all of my life it was the size of my rear that caused me the most hand-wringing, but in this nearly-50 zone it is my stomach that is the problem. It seems to have broken free from its moorings and there is no knowing how far it will roam.
Marian Keyes
Every day I wake up afraid that I won't be able to write, that today is the day it has left me.
Marian Keyes
Medically speaking, there is no such thing as a nervous breakdown. Which is very annoying to discover when you're right in the middle of one.
Marian Keyes
I used to feel defensive when people would say, 'Yes, but your books have happy endings', as if that made them worthless, or unrealistic. Some people do get happy endings, even if it's only for a while. I would rather never be published again than write a downbeat ending.
Marian Keyes
Her world had shrunk - no matter who she was with, she'd prefer to be with him. That's what happened when you fell in love - you only want to see them.
Marian Keyes
Love is an emotion. It can't be seen or touched, and it is experienced differently by everyone, therefore it is difficult to measure.
Marian Keyes
I think denial's fascinating. It's a jokey word, but it really happens, and sometimes in enormous ways.
Marian Keyes
Chick Lit uses humor to reflect life back to us. It's a very comforting genre, and it's the first time our generation has had a voice. It's a very important genre for all of those reasons.
Marian Keyes
Do I mind being called a chick-lit writer? Well, it's not the worst thing that could happen.
Marian Keyes
Failed relationships can be described as so much wasted make-up.
Marian Keyes
Baking makes me focus. On weighing the sugar. On sieving the flour. I find it calming and rewarding because, in fairness, it is sort of magic - you start off with all this disparate stuff, such as butter and eggs, and what you end up with is so totally different. And also delicious.
Marian Keyes
One day we'll all be dead, and none of this will matter -The Brightest Star in the Sky.
Marian Keyes
smarter than me. But here's the thing my life did get better. I made a decision to let go of my dreams, because they were killing me, and I stopped asking the impossible of myself. I changed my attitude and decided to focus on what I had rather than what i didn't have.
Marian Keyes
I know of people who don't believe it, but depression is an illness, but unlike, say, a broken leg, you don't know when it'll get better.
Marian Keyes
I've been so showered in life, beyond my wildest dreams, such as having a loving partner I never thought I'd have.
Marian Keyes
He seemed wild and dangerous and carefree--well, he would, would'nt he? What were motorcycles and black leather pants if not the uniform of a wild, dangerous and carefree man?
Marian Keyes
I knew it, I just knew it! The person who had the job of writing my life's dialogue used to work on a very low budget soap opera.
Marian Keyes
I don't like this idea of division: that if you're a clever woman then you've got to be a particular way. Because men don't. Men please themselves.
Marian Keyes
My friend Kathy is the only person who'll be halfway honest with me. 'Did you ever see a cowboy film, where someone has been caught by the Indians and tied between two wild stallions, each pulling in opposite directions?' she asked.I nodded mutely.'That's a bit what giving birth is like.
