A lot of very beautiful women can be a pain because all they're thinking about is how they look.
No one is more arrogant toward women more aggressive or scornful than the man who is anxious about his virility.
Once we hit forty women only have about four taste buds left: one for vodka one for wine one for cheese and one for chocolate.
Genteel women suppose that those things do not really exist about which it is impossible to talk in polite company.
Why is it men are permitted to be obsessed about their work but women are only permitted to be obsessed about men?
What we women need to do instead of worrying about what we don't have is just love what we do have.
I feel there is something unexplored about woman that only a woman can explore.
But I do think it's important to remember that writers do not have a monopoly of wisdom on their books. They can be wrong about their own books they can often learn about their own books.
When I wrote Living in the Light I wanted to share about how I live my own life and to encourage people to tap into their own inner wisdom.
You know how people always talk about how vision is the key to entrepreneurship and perseverance and really seeing what other people don't see? We can actually redeem a fair amount of that folk wisdom.
Around '93 '94 the conventional wisdom about the Internet was that it was a toy for academics and researchers. So it was very very underestimated for about two years.
The word philosophy sounds high-minded but it simply means the love of wisdom. If you love something you don't just read about it you hug it you mess with it you play with it you argue with it.
At sixty I know little more about wisdom than I did at thirty but I know a great deal more about folly.
I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.
You must learn day by day year by year to broaden your horizon. The more things you love the more you are interested in the more you enjoy the more you are indignant about the more you have left when anything happens.
I didn't get where I am today by worryin' about how I'd feel tomorrow.
You have to make your wedding day all about you.
I've thought about it a hundred times. I even buy bridal magazines sometimes. I want David Tutera to do my wedding.
I wear my wedding ring. We talk about when we're going to get married again which we hope is going to take place some time in this incredibly hectic calendar year.
After I had the Caesarean I was told I had really strong stomach muscles and so would heal very quickly. And I did. I was up walking about within three hours. Six days after having her I was out shopping and shortly after that I made it to David Walliams' wedding.
I didn't finish my dress until about three days before my wedding - I had the flu and was stitching it from my bed. And the tulle came back from India all brown. We had to wash it for hours but that didn't dissuade me from wearing it.
I saw a photograph of a wedding conducted by Reverend Moon of the Unification Church. I wanted to understand this event and the only way to understand it was to write about it.
A big part of being in a wedding is the financial obligation and that's something that people don't really talk about but if you're asked to be in a wedding you're gonna have to fork over some cash.
I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It's not about a production number it's about a meaningful moment between two people that's witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about.
I am very lucky I have a very tight group of friends and a very supportive family and to this date no-one has ever sold a story on me.
