“I drink champagne on two occasions: when I'm in love, and when I'm not. ”

“I'll eat when I'm hungry, drink when I'm dry”

“When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it.”

“I drink when I have occasion, and sometimes when I have no occasion.”

“When I'm not near the girl I love,
I love the girl I'm near.”

“I'm a girl of extremes. When I love something, I'm like a puppy dog (without all the licking). When I'm cranky, I'm a wasp (like a whole hive of 'em). And when I'm angry, I'm a Mother Bear with a predator after her cubs: Dangerous.”

“I'm only a beer teetotaler, not a champagne teetotaler. I don't like beer.”

“I feel more alive when I'm writing than I do at any other time--except maybe when I'm making love.”

“On the very rare occasion when they don't all jump up out of their seats I'm always mortified.”

“That is my problem with life, I just rush through it, like I'm being chased. Even things whose whole point is slowness, like drinking relaxing tea. When I drink relaxing tea I suck it down like I'm in a contest for who can drink relaxing tea the quickest.”
