“Middle age is when you've met so many people that every new person you meet reminds you of someone else…”

“When Roseanne read the first script of mine that got into her hands without being edited by someone else she said, 'How can you write a middle-aged woman this well?' I said, 'If you met my mom you wouldn't ask'.”

“Love is when you meet someone who tells you something new about yourself.”

“You really get to meet people on such a personal level. There's a real bonding in someone beating the crap out of you.”

“When you hold a grudge, you want someone else's sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet.”

“So you met someone who set you back on your heels - goody, goody
You met someone and now you know how it feels - goody, goody”

“Wanting to be someone else is a waste of the person you are.”

“When two people meet, each one is changed by the other so you got two new people. Maybe that means — hell, it's complicated.”

“You've gotten so caught up in being alone that you're afraid of what might happen if you actually find someone else that can take you away from it.”

“When a person you love dies, it doesn’t feel real. It’s like it’s happening to someone else. It’s someone else’s life. I’ve never been good with the abstract. What does it mean when someone is really truly gone?”
