You forget all of it anyway. . . You forget who was cool and who was not, who was pretty, smart, athletic, and not. . . You forget all of them. Even the ones you said you loved, and even the ones you actually did. They’re the last to go. And then once you’ve forgotten enough, you love someone else.
I don’t like water. I drink Diet Coke. Nor do I smoke, or drink alcohol or even sip a café. I don’t look after myself. I don’t do yoga, Pilates, those things.

I’m not sure I’m French. You think I’m not smart enough?

The reality is that I surround myself with very smart, very strong people - including my ex-wives.
I surround myself with women who inspire me to be more ambitious, and who constantly astonish me with their magnetism, style, and smarts.
I wouldn't have believed it. I still barely do, truthfully. I'm so continually fortunate that I keep coming across these smart, interesting, creative people who pick me. It's just stupendous.
It's what each of us sows, and how, that gives us character and prestige.
Now is a time for, dare I say it, kindness. I thought being extremely smart would take care of it. But I see I have been found out.
Once upon a time there was a girl. " "Not a princess?!" "No, definitely not! She was too smart to be a princess. Tough too. . . Stronger than anyone realized. " "Does she live happily ever after?" "Shouldn't there be something in the middle?" "I like to read the ending first. " (Wicked Lovely)
When writing a novel, I'm not smart enough to know how to foreshadow something if I don't know what it is.
