Zitat des Tages von Taylor Jenkins Reid:
Try everything with an open heart, looking to fall in love.
I've always been drawn to the idea that small choices in our lives could have drastic effects on our future.
Life is too short to be on a diet.
It wasn't until I set out to write a novel about marriage that I realized how little I knew about the institution.
I had moved across the country, taken internships, networked, worked long hours, and called in favors to get there. And I had done it. I was working in Hollywood. So imagine the melancholy I found myself in when I realized that I didn't love casting the way that I always thought I would.
You can't write about an iconic Hollywood star of the sixties without bumping up against Elizabeth Taylor.
You don't realize how strong you are until you have to help someone else stand up.
I never wanted a big wedding. I never wanted to wear a white dress or throw a bouquet.
Writing for TV entails saying every dumb idea that comes into your head to a room of people. And doing so with the confidence that it doesn't make you look like an idiot.
I went to Acton-Boxborough Regional High School in Massachusetts and Emerson College in Boston.
I have often lost whole days jumping from one Wikipedia article after another in an attempt to understand the full scope of marriage as an institution.
We often compare the experience of writing a book to that of playing God. It is up to us, and only us, to determine what happens to the people we invent. It is for us alone to determine what is good and bad, just and unjust, appropriate and inappropriate for the worlds we create. I love that about writing books.
Why did I elope with my husband after knowing him for only four months? I wish I could show people the picture of the two of us that night and have them feel what I felt. But it's just a picture. It can only capture how things looked, not how they felt.
I love being a writer so much that I almost can't believe that I am one.
I can't tell you how many times I've been writing and then found myself seven clicks deep into a Wikipedia entry that I don't even care about. Self-distraction appears to be my version of sleepwalking.
My husband makes sacrifices so that I can shine.
When I was a kid, all I ever wanted was to be famous.
