I've been out with men who have literally had an argument with the mirror because they couldn't get their hair right. When I was younger, I might have reassured him, but I can't do that anymore.

Everybody has a bad hair day, but us girls still like to be told we look nice even if we don't feel like we do.

A girl's got to do what she's got to do to make somebody pay her a compliment. If that means moaning 'til the cows come home, then so be it.

I don't shop because I need something, I just shop for shopping's sake.

If I've been accused a number of times of writing plays where the endings are ambivalent, indeed, that's the way I find life.

A teacher should, above all things, first induce a desire in the pupil for the acquisition he wishes to impart.

The person who thought there could be any real conflict between science and religion must be either very young in science or ignorant of religion.

I'm always looking at ways of shaking up the writing experience because I think it helps.

To know, to esteem, to love,-and then to part, Makes up life's tale to many a feeling heart.
