I never thought 'The Glass Castle' would be a movie. It's just too complicated.

Kids are smarter than you realize.

I didn't want to be the daughter of the crazy people.

I liked movers and shakers more than celebrities. I wasn't that interested in celebrities. I grew up without a TV.

I was never really a party person.

I still dream about 'New York' mag. It's kind of weird. I dream I'm part-time, and they can't find a full-time job for me. It's usually that I can't find a lead, and I call all my great sources and say, 'Can you help me out?'

I was like, 'I'll take out garbage or do whatever it takes just to work at 'New York Magazine.' My god! I'd do anything!

I have a joyful life, and I attribute that to both of my parents.

I had the big shoulders; I had the big hair. I loved the '80s. It was all about power women.

What's wrong with social climbing? What's wrong with trying to improve your lot in life? And if you do, what happens if your family doesn't? Is that betraying your roots? Are you being dishonest? I had a really good job, and it paid really well. Am I supposed to quit it out of loyalty to my parents?
