care people pet plants sadness until year
You know what I hate? I hate people who give me plants. The whole giving someone plants - it's like giving someone a pet. I'm giving you responsibility, I'm giving you a thing that you now have to take care of for, like, a year until it dies, and then I'm giving you sadness and guilt.

I'm a sucker for a screwed-up protagonist. We all have issues.

Of the paperbacks that you see at the airport, I am the most violent woman writer.
