Judith Rossner

I'm a lousy journalist.

The more interesting the 9-to-5 work is, the more it takes away from my real work, which is writing.

My abiding theme is separations.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.
