“I laugh every day. There are days when my laughs are pretty hollow. Du...” — James L. Brooks Quote

“I laugh every day. There are days when my laughs are pretty hollow. Dust comes out of your mouth, and your bones make a funny sound. But I'm laughing.”

“I could see no position to say, 'I'm going to make a living as a writer.' But I went to classes for it; I read every play in 'Theater' magazine.

“I have a lot of nightmares.”

“The remarkable thing about 9/11 was that journalism pretty much put down its badges. People didn't worry about reacting as human beings. People who weren't reporters reported.

“I love bingeing. 'The Wire' was my first binge, and the thing about bingeing is, when you are doing four or five hours a day for a number of days, it becomes a literary experience, closer to reading.”

“I was 85 lbs. at my 2000 homecoming dance. But I wanted my collarbones and hip bones to show more. I'd feel my hip bones to make sure they were out. If not, I had more weight to lose. I lost my period until I was 17. I loved that. It meant I wasn't healthy, and I didn't want to be healthy.”

“As a newcomer to politics, I knew in my bones that we as a country were better than what we see coming out of Washington. And we are.”

“I really do feel part of America to my very bones; at the same time, I know that I come from somewhere else.”

“I don't care how big you are! Big bones don't weigh any more than small bones.”
