Air travel is the safest form of travel aside from walking even then, the chances of being hit by a public bus at 30,000 feet are remarkably slim. I also have no problem with confined spaces. Or heights. What I am afraid of is speed.

Book tours are such a little tapas meal of where I could live.

My personality, when tasked with creating meals, goes something like this: Is there a way we can make this more difficult? Because let's do that. I don't mean to complicate things. It's just - why buy pre-packaged potato salad when you can spend your morning boiling potatoes and flipping out because there's no dill in the house?

We are only as good as our most extreme experiences

When I was nine years old, I wrote a short story called 'How to Build a Snowman,' from which no practical snowperson-crafting techniques could be gleaned. The story was an assignment for class and it featured a series of careful but meaningless instructions. Of course, the building of the snowman was a red herring.

and there's something about having an especially different name that makes it difficult to imagine what you would be like as a Jennifer.

In New York and L.A., there is sort of that silent competition to be on the cutting edge of something. You end up having a conversation with how the world receives your work, especially if you are writing narrative, not fiction. Sometimes it is an awkward conversation. It's like group therapy.

I thought I'd had another few decades before my noise complaint years.

It is my belief that people who speak of high school with a sugary fondness are bluffing away early-onset Alzheimer's.

I love to bake, so I made vanilla bean and blueberry muffins for sick hospital children. Just kidding! All of that is true except the sick children part.

I have come to understand myself as more of a New York writer, or more of a woman writer, but I don't feel like that while I'm writing. But I think that most New Yorkers would object to calling me a New Yorker. I didn't grow up here.

It's remarkable the logic we'll build around a misapprehension.
Sloane Crosley
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.

When you spin a globe and point to a city and actually go to that city, you build an allowance of missed opportunities on the back end.

As most New Yorkers have done, I have given serious and generous thought to the state of my apartment should I get killed during the day.

If I go into a sandwich shop or anywhere that features 'Today's specials' on a chalkboard more than 10 feet away, I have to ask for a printed menu. I smile at people I don't know on the street and ignore those I do. When at home, I often find myself grabbing my 'back-up' glasses to search for the better-loved pair I have left on top of my dresser.

I am starting to like LA, but the concept of a place you have to get used to so much seems a little weird to me. I have been to many foreign cities where I didn't have do acclimatize as much as I did to LA

Sometimes we don't know what we want until we don't get it.

The Darkness at Irving. Hope to have as much fun doing anything ever as these guys have on stage.

You know what they say: 'Why sit at a table that doesn't have key lime pie on it if you don't have to?'

You feel like telling him you're not single in the way that he thinks you're single. After all, you have yourself.
