I went to high school, which was a good thing because I hadn't interacted with many people my age, and I didn't really have friends. I had a million acquaintances and no friends.

You want calamities? What about the Ice Age?

I don't like to boast, but I have probably skipped more poetry than any other person of my age and weight in this country.

Its not age as much as the experiences I have had.

I was doing a children's book on self-esteem, and I really felt like I wanted to shed the shame I'd been feeling - and maybe make it easier for women my age who had probably felt bad about themselves.
