You have been told that Real Life is not like college, and you have been correctly informed. Real Life is more like high school.
Having wrinkles is at once strange and exciting.
Pretending is a very valuable life skill.
Without question, of the heterosexual men that I've spoken to over the years, that's usually - they say, you know, my favorite thing you've ever done was Linda or Sophie. And they were a particular kind of very feminine, recessive kind of personality. So they fell in love with her, but they didn't feel the story through her body.
I own one pair of Prada shoes. They make my feet hurt... It's not the shoes' fault; they are exquisitely made. I blame my feet. I've got my mother's feet.

If everybody that had two cars had a Prius instead of an SUV, we wouldn't be in the Middle East right now.
It's harder for men to imagine themselves as the girl in the movies than it is for me to imagine myself as Daniel Craig bringing down the building.
There are some days when I, myself , think I'm overrated
We're viewed as equals - but we're still not there yet. [...] The challenge for our girls, I think, is dealing with that resistance. How can we lift and defuse it, how do we make it so our equality is not so threatening? Our girls are going to have to contend with that. I contend with it right now in every realm I operate in.
