casually characters poke proved quite reader
Quite casually I wander into my plot, poke around with my characters for a while, then amble off, leaving no moral proved and no reader improved.
skins care use
My hope is that if I take good care of my skin and use Botox, I won't have to use anything else.
stories trouble autobiography
I got out of autobiography because my story is, I was famous, it was hard for me, I got into therapy. I had trouble with food, I got a nutritionist. There's no story there.
years six different
There's nobody I don't like. Maybe in six years it will be different.
real reflection giving
There's so many young women today who look so lost. And I feel like, of course they're lost. They have no one around them to give them real, authentic reflection.
pain reality anxiety
To be totally honest, if I could be thinner without it causing a lot of pain and anxiety in my life, I would be. But today the reality is my life is more important to me than my weight - and thank God for that.
used wells used-to-be
Well, I used to be a compulsive exerciser, but I'm over that.
thinking parent remember
I really have always wanted to be a parent, and when I hit 36 and had just ended a relationship, I remember thinking how much I still wanted it. But I thought I'd adopt.
fun kids thinking
I love kids; I think they are fun and funny.
absolutely itself life stories
Like life itself my stories have no point and get absolutely nowhere.
freely turning
Without so much as turning a hair I freely admit that I am one of America's greatest realists.
