If people are watching television by themselves, it makes them part of a community of people laughing.

The thing I love about television is that people watch you in their pajamas, and when they're eating dinner. You're part of the family.

I've always supported myself. I like the sense of knowing exactly where I stand financially, but there is a side of me that longs for a knight in shining armor.

I'm not saying that there's anything better than mated bliss at its best, but I'm saying that living alone is as good in its own way. But we haven't quite given ourselves permission to recognize that.

The secret of living a full life is to be fully engaged, moment to moment, to have something in your life that engages you so that there's nothing missing.

I'd like to meet a lovely man who shares my interests. On the other hand, I possibly will not. It's part of the hand you're dealt. It's a challenge-and I'm not atypical.

I love writing. I've always written journals. I loved writing the book on living alone.

For 50 percent of Americans marriage is forever, for the rest of us there is another adventure.

Poetry is very crafted. You can't have too many words. It needs compression. It has to be spare, just the right number of words.
