It's funny. People often compare me to other humor essayists. They're usually quite nice comparisons I will accept those gladly. But I am always sort of appalled at the idea of being lumped with other more chick-y female writers. And the truth is probably that neither comparison is accurate.

I don't care what the haters and naysayers say. If they make jokes about me I'll laugh because they'll probably be funny.

Success always necessitates a degree of ruthlessness. Given the choice of friendship or success I'd probably choose success.

All my life Americans have been accustomed to thinking of theirs as 'the richest freest' country in the world.
