- Nov 07, 2020
I love to bake, so I made vanilla bean and blueberry muffins for sick hospital children. Just kidding! All of that is true except the sick children part.
- Nov 07, 2020
You know what they say: 'Why sit at a table that doesn't have key lime pie on it if you don't have to?'

- Nov 07, 2020
I don't do emoticons unless I'm making a big deal out of them. I'll type out, 'This is so amusing it makes me want to grin in pixels.' And then do it.
- Out
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Out of all artists, authors are the least trained for the spotlight. Wanting attention isn't a requisite part of the package.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I have definitely had experiences where I can feel the shift from simply living my life to being slightly outside of my life and taking notes.
- Experience
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, titles are either a natural two-second experience or stressful enough to give you an ulcer. If they don't pop out perfect on the first try, they can be really hard to repair. Or, worse, if the author thinks they pop out perfect, but the publishing house does not agree, it's difficult to shift gears. And then? Then you go insane.
- Back

- Nov 07, 2020
In every woman's wardrobe, there are certain accessories that cannot be separated from their back stories.
- Day
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every day of my adult life, I have worn at least one piece of jewelry from my maternal grandmother's collection, all of which were manufactured by famed Danish silversmith Georg Jensen. To the naked eye, I am either a Jensen loyalist or a grandmother loyalist. Really I am just a Pretty Things loyalist.
- Parenting
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My grandmother was a kind of Scarsdale, New York, society woman, best known in her day as the author of the 1959 book 'Growing Your Own Way: An Informal Guide for Teen-Agers' - this despite being a person whose parenting style made Joan Crawford's wire hangers look like pool noodles.
- Culture
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our culture's obsession with vintage objects has rendered us unable to separate history from nostalgia. People want heart. They want a chaser of emotion with their aesthetics.
- I Am
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The Queen of Crafts herself, Martha Stewart, and I have the same birthday. I prefer to think it's the glue-gun wielding, perfect-tart-producing Martha and not the copper pan-throwing, jail-going Martha. But I suppose if I am going to share a calendar square with some of Martha, I have to share it with all of Martha.
- Long
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For a long time I wanted to draw, but I could never get the proportions right. My still life sketches were the artistic equivalent of someone who has misjudged the space constraints of a postcard, the handwriting shrinking uncomfortably at the bottom.
- Genius
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I was diagnosed with a severe temporal spatial deficit, a learning disability that means I have zero spatial relations skills. It was official: I was a genius trapped in an idiot's body.
- City
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I now know my right from my left and my up from my down. Unluckily, my terrible sense of direction remains. For me, to live in New York City is to never be able to meet someone on the northeast corner. It is to never ever make a smooth entrance, always to get caught looking lost on the street.
- Like
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Our brains are like bonsai trees, growing around our private versions of reality.
- Being
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Personal technology has given us the freedom of being able to do whatever we want - and in the case of celebrities and athletes, whomever they want. But it can also serve as a humiliation jetpack.
- Place
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Alaska is what happens when Willy Wonka and the witch from Hansel and Gretel elope, buy a place together upstate, renounce their sweet teeth, and turn into health fanatics.
- End
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
When you spin a globe and point to a city and actually go to that city, you build an allowance of missed opportunities on the back end.
- Golf Ball
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Sometimes in New York, you're walking down the street and you realize there's a girl walking in front of you whose thighs you could hit a golf ball through, and maybe that makes you depressed.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Everything in New York seems to merit preserving. If it's not historical, it's personal. If it's not personal, it's cultural. But you can't. You can't save everything. You just have to pack it up in your brain and take it with you when you go.
- Exhilarating
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
You can't possibly fathom the ins and outs of a prepubescent beauty treatment until you've felt the strange but exhilarating tingle of a cottage-cheese-and-Pop-Rocks facial.
- Go
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I use Ole Henriksen eye gel when I think of it, and go for facials when spa gift certificates appear as a professional thank-you or in a gift bag. Once ensconced in a facialist's chair, I let myself be coaxed into all sorts of treatments, because I'm there already, so why not?
- Dog
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There is no such thing as a crazy dog person in New York. Are there people who are completely insane about their dogs? Hordes. But cat people may as well have whiskers and tails themselves. That's because their pets' lack of social need taps straight into our worst fears as the human inhabitants of New York.
- Community
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Cats and their owners are on a private, exclusive loop of affection. Thus cats have become symbolic of a community eschewed and a hyper-engagement with oneself. They represent the profound danger of growing so independent in New York that it's not merely that you don't need anyone - it's that you don't know how to need anyone.
- Applicable
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
A pet store is a celebration of dogs' existence and an explosion of options. About cats, a pet store seems to say, 'Here, we couldn't think of anything else.' Cats are the Hanukkah of the animal world in this way. They are feted quietly and happily by a minority, but there's only so much hoopla applicable to them.
- Floor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I write on weekends, on vacation, and, really - on deadline and on my floor. Both terrible for the back.
- Life
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
There's an 'Everything must go!' emotional liquidation feel to the end of your twenties, isn't there? What will happen if we turn thirty and we're not 'ready?' You don't feel entirely settled in any aspect of your life, even if you are on paper.
- New
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I do think New York prepares you for the crossection of personalities and realities on display when you leave the country, and I'd live somewhere else if I had a reason or burning-the-the-point-of-discomfort desire to do so.
- Humor
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I think a lot of humor is about distracting yourself. Pretend you're not trying to make it funny. Because for some reason the effort to be funny smells like sulphur in our culture.
- Know
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I love giving people advice on what to do with their books, but I don't really know how a Kindle Single gets covered.
- Personality
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
The reason that war is such a fascinating subject for writers is because it's a revealer. Put a bunch of people in an adrenaline-fuelled, life-or-death situation and their fundamental behaviours are exposed, the scrim is taken away and the motivations behind each personality come out to play.
- Morning
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My personality, when tasked with creating meals, goes something like this: Is there a way we can make this more difficult? Because let's do that. I don't mean to complicate things. It's just - why buy pre-packaged potato salad when you can spend your morning boiling potatoes and flipping out because there's no dill in the house?
- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
For me, nothing brings out my 'born yesterday' idiotic qualities quite like having my photograph taken.
