A show is like it's own thing... it's a creation from so many people's talent and so much energy.

I don't really go on diets because when I go on a diet, my brain stops working. I mean, really, that's all I think about: what I can eat, what I can't eat. I sort of decided that's not what I want to do with my time on this planet. It's not it.
Writing a novel, when it's all going well, it's wonderful. You're lost in the world, and you have a relationship with your own mind. Also, as a novelist, you don't have to yell at anyone. But being an executive producer of a TV show, all you have is people coming at you with questions, and you're making decisions, decisions, decisions.
For me, the word 'housewife,' because of, like, the 'Real Housewives' - I don't think housewife really means what it used to mean. To me, it's been a little bit overused to the point that it's not as loaded as it might be. I feel like in a perfect world we would say 'American Mom with Kids,' or something like that. 'Mom with Small Children.'
I love being married. I love my house; I love my kids. I love all of it.
I'm an introvert.
I really don't think you need to be 40 and have three kids and have a body of an 18-year-old.
Writing novels is so much more satisfying than writing television.
I really tried to avoid living in L.A. for as long as I can.
If you really want to stay married to the person you're currently married to, I would not suggest trying an open marriage.
I think that our culture is doing something to women - let's say women in their late 30s and 40s and probably even 50s, - where they really are expected to keep this insane level of fitness and youth. I find that just a real waste of women's lives. I really do think that.
I am really bad at being a mom. I think it's hard for me to be a mom. I do my best. I am not the poster child for being a mother, I will say that. I wish I was.
If you're going to be married for a long time, I think you'll have a fair number of moments where you question things, no matter how good your marriage is.
Love makes you deluded.
