I was on the cover of a lot of newspapers. I was on the cover of USA Today for every single day for a month. I was on the masthead, so I tend to get recognized a lot, and in weird places. It’s always flattering, and it’s always odd. It’s always at the worst possible time Picture Quote #1

My parents had this relationship that was really terrifying. I mean, the level of hatred that they had, and the level of physical abuse - my mother would beat up my father, basically - and I think I was drawn to images on television that were bright and reflective Picture Quote #1

Maybe it was a Patty Hearst thing. Stockholm syndrome or whatever it’s called when you’re being held against your will but then you become sucked in and fall in love.

It was like living in a new house. I saw the undersides of tables, walked through the tangle of chair legs. It would be good to be a dog, I thought. You would feel safe surrounded by all of these leggy objects that never tried to run away Picture Quote #1

I was struck with a bolt of distilled horror like I have never known before. Far worse than suddenly finding yourself walking through a prison cafeteria wearing Daisy Duke shorts and a Jane Fonda headband Picture Quote #1

Self-pity is the bestiality of emotions: it absolutely disgusts people. When you’re feeling pity for yourself, and somebody says to you ‘You think maybe it’s time for the pity party to be over?

I tend to really enjoy being swept up in fiction. I love a good story and I admire fiction authors Picture Quote #1

This is what happens when you go against the grain of truth. You get splinters later on Picture Quote #1

I’ve overcome a lot - sexual abuse, death of a loved one, bad parents and experienced life. My nature is such I not only survived all this but I have thrived. I’ve always been psychologically ambitious in that I’ve never been willing to settle emotionally for anything less then what’s needed. I’ve wanted more then that from life Picture Quote #1

Miracles do happen. You must believe this. No matter what else you believe about life, you must believe in miracles Picture Quote #1

If I were blind I’d rather have another blind person leading me around because they know what I’m dealing with and they’re experiencing the same things Picture Quote #1

I always tried to learn Greek, but all I got out of it was, poulaki mou. [My little chicken.] Picture Quote #1

You must never allow something that happened to you to become a morbidly treasured heirloom that you carry, show people, put back in its black velvet pouch and then tuck back into your jacket where you can keep it close to your heart Picture Quote #1

The dark side of blogging is, of course, people can be (and are) just savage and uncivilized, deeply cruel and fully unaccountable Picture Quote #1

I’m grateful for a lot of things. One is not being a drunk wreck. Or losing all four limbs in some ridiculous East Village bus accident that I was so destined for Picture Quote #1

If you hate your life, you haven’t’ seen enough of it. If you hate your life, it’s because your life is too small and doesn’t’ fit you Picture Quote #1

The more obsessed one is with getting thin, the more certain it becomes that one will never get there Picture Quote #1

There is nothing about MYSELF that I wouldn’t reveal or write about. I don’t care how horrendous or ridiculous I may appear in person or in print. There is great freedom in not caring what other people think Picture Quote #1

I couldn’t help but think, This car is taking me to a mental hospital and my mother is treating it like open-mic night at a Greenwich Village cafÃƒÂ© Picture Quote #1

...handsome people are always interesting to watch. But a handsome person in crisis is riveting Picture Quote #1

People generally like happy endings, which is something I learned from my years in advertising. I like happy endings myself, but only if they’re honest. I’m just as happy with a terrible, hopeless ending Picture Quote #1
