I am very protective of my family.

Courtney Cox got me this Laura Mercier tinted moisturizer. She wears it, too! If one of us finds a product we love, we buy it for the other.

I am so happy that I married a comedy writer. He's never not without a joke. No matter where we are.

I always have two pairs of glasses: geeky black Warby Parker frames and Wayfarer Ray Bans. Those are key!

I like to carry a nice bag because then I can wear t-shirts and jeans all the time!

My husband and I have a deal, which has worked out well: He cooks one Sunday, I cook the next. The kids set the table, and we eat in the dining room together, just as I used to do as a kid.

People have maybe, sometimes, said that I can, occasionally, be a teeny bit edgy and judgmental.

Trust is dangerous.

If you are able to explain suffering, a man once told him, you weren't really there.

I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.

Friends are like coals in a fire - together, they glow; apart, they grow cold.

I'm quite a slow reader. It can take me quite a while to get though a book.

Cardboard is another material that's ubiquitous and everybody hates, yet when I made furniture with it everybody loved it.

...and the great advantage of being a literary woman, was that you could go everywhere and do everything.

Be merry if you are wise.

one must find one's natural home, not try to construct it.

If you want to be loved by everyone, don't go into politics.
