Sometimes...we don't want to feel like a postmodern, postfeminist, overstretched woman but, rather, a domestic goddess, trailing nutmeggy fumes of baking pie in our languorous wake.

I'm not someone who's endlessly patient and wonderful.

I am not sure about facelifts because I wouldn't want to be someone who just looks like she's had a facelift.

There is a vast difference between how things seem from the outside and how they feel on the inside.

You cannot truly say you live well unless you eat well.

You need a balance in life between dealing with whats going on inside and not being so absorbed in yourself that it takes over.

Glamour really has to do with good lighting, doesn't it?

People who have fabulous childhoods have this sense that nothing is ever going to be that good again. With me, I have the sense that nothing is going to be that bad.
