My father always used to say that when you die, if you've got five real friends, then you've had a great life.

You can have brilliant ideas, but if you can't get them across, your ideas won't get you anywhere.

The ability to concentrate and to use time well is everything.

It's good for the soul to hear yourself as others hear you, and next time maybe, just maybe, you will not talk so much, so loudly, so brilliantly, so charmingly, so utterly shamelessly foolishly.

With my early work I got eviscerated by my male professors, and so you learned to disguise your impulses, as many women have done. And that's definitely changed.

I continually still fight every day for my life, not only still battling mental health problems but battling multiple sclerosis, which also has depression as one of its side effects.
