I like you just the way I am.

Very few things are off-limits for me.

Long story short: E. L. James is a hero.

I just want everyone to like me. That's my main flaw.

In a healthy relationship, there is stability and security.

I don't think enough women are being honest about motherhood.

I surround myself with bizarre people. They're more fun to write about.

I think the power of persuasion would be the greatest superpower of all time.

Just to be able to make money doing what you love - you can't ask for anything more.

From your first kid, your body still kind of looks the same once you get back in shape.

Discipline tops my list of most-hated things, followed closely by portobello mushrooms.

At 41 and a half weeks pregnant, I started to have second thoughts about becoming a mother.

I want to be doing something that I love and actually being able to feed myself by doing it.

My parents have been married multiple times each, so the idea of being committed to somebody was scary.

I never had credit card debt... I was very much about trying to gain my freedom, so it was about saving.

There are two types of people in the world: those who think everyone needs therapy, and those who have never been.

In my twenties, my dad was paying half my rent and my ex boyfriend was paying the other half. I wasn't in a good place!

I read 'The First Bad Man' by Miranda July, and I just thought, 'Oh my God, I'll never be this good. That book is so incredible.'

I was never the girl who yearned for children. I pretended to be interested in other people's kids, but that was obviously just an act.

I've always gravitated toward men who sort of kind of eclipsed me in some way. And I think that it's because I have this need to be better.

I just hope that people, women specifically, embrace that side of themselves that maybe is a little nuts or that society tells us is crazy.

I never had a go-to girl squad. I think that I'm only friends with loners, so I have a select group of loners that I hang out with individually.

I think, as a woman and as somebody in the entertainment industry, we have to be careful what we're putting out there and what we're trying to say.

Before you meet the love of your life, there's usually one guy you date that you try to convince yourself is him. Let me save you some time: He's not.

My parents ... are more like cats. They accidentally had a litter of kittens, and then emotionally moved on to whatever ball of yarn rolled past their line of sight.

I don't think that crazy should have a negative connotation - it just means that you're fun. I think that crazy is just a term that boring people use to describe fun people.

I don't want to read about the fabricated version of someone's life. I want to know what haunts you, what are you ashamed of, what embarrasses you, what do you wish was different?

There's this unspoken assumption when you're the child of a doctor that nothing is ever wrong with you - or at least nothing horrendous enough to warrant your father leaving work.

The books on my nightstand are so bizarre, very eclectic - like, every German author, and then I have a couple of books by this ex-boyfriend of mine there. I just want to make sure that he's not too much better than I am!

Throughout my childhood, my parents dropped me off at a multitude of therapists' offices in hopes that I'd avoid growing up to be the kind of asshole who writes books about them. Also because it was sometimes easier than finding a nanny.

Chelsea Handler is a good friend of mine, and I always was inspired by the fact that she was taking her life and turning it into these ridiculous, raunchy memoirs. She really has a talent, and she's a great writer. I was inspired by her trajectory.

It was hard to write about my dad for the first book because I know how sensitive he is. I knew he wasn't going to take it as well as my mom, who can kind of roll with the punches and is used to having me tell her everything she has done wrong as a parent.

I think as an actress before I was on Twitter I thought, I'm only doing drama [and dramatic roles]... but then as soon I started tweeting it was like, "Oh you're the funny girl!"... but that was never how I saw myself. It's changed how I seem in other people's eyes.

My brother and I have never been that close. We have different mothers and never lived in the same house. As kids, my sister, Samantha, and I lived in San Diego and Brad in Brooklyn. The only time I saw him was in the summer when our visitations with our father overlapped.

I rarely tweet unless I'm talking about 'The Bachelor.' I have a love/hate relationship with Instagram, though - it's like a rigid parent. It's much more restrictive with what can be posted, but you can write a full paragraph, post a video - it changes the game a little bit.
