“I'm writing a new book right now that is like an erotica manifesto.”

“People who love science fiction really do love sex.”

“I think that you have to do everything you can do to empower girls when they are young, from their education, to their successful independence, to their sexual self-knowledge.”

“Now I have to have the biggest P.O. box in the entire post office to get all the manuscripts coming in.”

“I got introduced to audiobooks because of having a baby.”

“Finding people who get enormous pleasure from reading books is a more and more unusual experience, and so writers just so much want to be heard.”

“So that would be a classic mixed message to young women: you should look a certain way that's going to destroy your reproductive system and your sexual appetite, but at the same time, you should be interested in sex!”

“I had a hard time publishing my books in the beginning of my career, because editors were afraid what people would think of THEM, personally, if their name was associated with me.”

“Doing the right thing for someone else was like a tonic for me; it was like some magic ointment that made a wound disappear.”

“I see the effects of sexual and gender liberation all around me, just like you do, but I don't have a sense of being in the majority.”

“I love turning my daughter on to old movies.”

“You have to calendar time for yourself even if you have no idea what you're going to do with it.”

“There is more criticism of puritanism, and more distance from Christian morality, than there has been before.”

“Familiarity with your lover is what initially makes sex really good.”

“In fact, I think for a lot of writers, it's so hard to be read.”

“I think moms need to share information on a regular, intimate basis.”

“You name the demonstration; I was at it.”

“It's not that sexual liberation or feminist messages are dead.”

“I had no idea that mothering my own child would be so healing to my own sadness from my childhood.”
