Don't be too precious or attached to anything you write. Let things be malleable.
If you are a woman and you bought this book for practical tips on how to make it in a male-dominated workplace, here they are. No pigtails, no tube tops. Cry sparingly. (Some people say “Never let them see you cry.” I say, if you’re so mad you could just cry, then cry. It terrifies everyone.)
I want to thank my parents for somehow raising me to have confidence that is disproportionate with my looks and abilities.
I am going to dedicate myself, full time, to my day-drinking.
Why are my arms so weak? It's like I did that push-up last year for nothing!
You’re in competition with everyone.
An interim government was set up in Afghanistan. It included two women, one of whom was Minister of Women's Affairs. Man, who'd she have to show here ankles to to get that job?

If they go for a woman, it'll be between you and Barbara. Don't be fooled. You're not in competition with other women. You're in competition with everyone.
Being a mom has made me so tired. And so happy.
Growing up as a girl is always traumatizing, especially when you have the deadly combination of greasy skin and getting your boobs at ten. But I think it's good to grow up that way. It builds character.
You're not in competition with other women. You're in competition with everyone.
Somewhere around the fifth or seventh grade I figured out that I could ingratiate myself to people by making them laugh. Essentially, I was just trying to make them like me. But after a while it became part of my identity.
