few good hit remaining
The realization that I may have only a few good years remaining has hit me with real force, and I have done a lot of thinking as a result. I would like to have come up with something profound, but I haven't.
believe life
Denial has been a way of life for me for many years. I actually believe in denial.
american-author hard worked
What my mother believed about cooking is that if you worked hard and prospered, someone else would do it for you.
beauty believe ifs
Believe me, if I looked good, it's not an accident.
life interpretation born
You're born, you die. Everything in between is subject to interpretation.
movie women years
Look at the parts the Oscar-nominated actresses played this year: hooker, hooker, hooker, hooker, and nun.
party dinner abstract
Food became, for dinner parties in the sixties, what abstract expressionism had been in the fifties.
thinking easier get-over
It's much easier to get over someone if you can delude yourself into thinking you never really cared that much.
running jobs real
Women are being considered as candidates for vice-president of the United States because it is the worst job in America. It's amazing that men will take it. A job with real power is first lady. I'd be willing to run for that. As far as the men who are running for president are concerned, they aren't even people I would date.
years four lasts
The last four years of psychoanalysis are a waste of money.
thinking romance cynical
No one is more romantic than a cynic. I do think that you don't become cynical or 'unsentimental' unless there's a core of romanticism or sentiment that's had a few chips nicked into it.
knowing people upset
One of the things people always say to you if you get upset is, don't take it personally, but listen hard to what's going on and, please, I beg you, take it personally. Understand: every attack on Hillary Clinton for not knowing her place is an attack on you. Underneath almost all those attacks are the words: get back, get back to where you once belonged.
