I sat with him for three hours and we did not exchange a single word. At the end he handed me as he had done before an envelope with money in it. It would have been much nicer if he had enclosed a greeting or a loving word. I would have been so pleased if he had.
I like my money right where I can see it... hanging in my closet.
There are two kinds of power you have to fight. The first is the money and that's just our system. The other is the people close around you knowing when to accept their criticism knowing when to say no.
Writing is like prostitution. First you do it for love and then for a few close friends and then for money.
I never attempt to make money on the stock market. I buy on the assumption that they could close the market the next day and not reopen it for five years.
People close to me called me 'Curry in a Hurry.' I was moving through life at 100 miles an hour trying to further my career and be a great mom and make everyone happy.
I was home-schooled was always very close with my mom and was very straight-laced and square. I was never the rebellious one and I never threw hissy fits.
My mom would be leaving the house and she'd say 'Don't you pull out all of the old dresses in the attic and put on a show again!' And the door would close and that's exactly what I'd do. The show was calling me!
I deal with postpartum feelings by reaching out to mom friends. I became very close with some of the women in my prenatal yoga class.
I have a very close relationship with my mom and I'm able to talk to her about anything.
