I Have A Husband And Children, And

I Would Do 'american Splendor' And 'about Schmidt' Again In A Heartbeat.

Every Summer My Husband And I Pack Our Suitcases, Load Our Kids Into The Car, And Drive From Tense, Crowded New York City To My Family's Cottage In Maine. It's On An Island, With Stretches Of Sea And Sandy Beaches, Rocky Coasts, And Pine Trees. We Barbecue, Swim, Lie Around, And Try To Do Nothing.

I Have Not Spent Years In Therapy; I Tried Therapy In My Mid-twenties, And It Did Not Go Very Well. I Just Thought, 'this Is So Not For Me. I Would Rather Talk To One Of My Girlfriends.' I'm Not At A Point In My Life When I'm Analyzing Too Much. I Have Young Children, And I'm Just Pretty Much Crazed.

I Travel All The Time, And I Have Two Small Children.

I've Seen A Lot Of The United States, Having Stayed In So Many Different Cities And Towns For Work. It's Such A Strange And Fascinating Country, And Instead Of Learning About It Through A Textbook, I Would Rather Discover Its History And Traditions And Institutions Through Fiction And Nonfiction Writers.
