greatest love moment paint palette tears women
I love writing for women. The willingness to go from laughter to tears in a moment is the greatest palette you can paint with as a writer.

I love funny women. I love writing funny women characters.

Only two things change when you get older: the energy in your voice and the time of night you feel it's appropriate to call someone. In your 20s, people call at 2 a.m. and yell, 'Are you up?' into the answering machine. Now, someone calls after 8 p.m., and my boyfriend is like, 'Who is that? Who could be calling at this hour?'
