Life Is Like A Jigsaw Puzzle, You

I Remember The Day I Turned Thirty. I Was Getting Out Of The Shower And I Stood In Front Of The Mirror And Stared At Myself For A Long Time. I Examined Every Inch Of My Body And Appreciated The Fact That I Finally Looked Like A Grown Woman. I Also Assumed That This Was How I Was Going To Look For The Rest Of My Life. The Way I Saw It, I Was Never Going To Age; I'd Just Look Up One Day And Be Old.

I Try To Create Characters That I Am Fascinated By On Some Level Or Intrigued By Or Can't Stand.

I Just Believe That Young People Need To Be Able To Learn How To Write In Their Own Voice. Just Like A Musician, You Pride Yourself On Having Your Own Distinct Sound.

I Can't Stand That - Those Women In 'waiting To Exhale' Now. I Can't Stand Them. But That's Because I'm 53 And Not 33. But What They Were Experiencing At 33, I Identified With It.
