When I eventually met Mr. Right I had no idea that his first name was Always.
[One of my friends] was in labor for 36 hours. (I don't even want to do anything that feels good for 36 hours.)
Men reach their sexual peak at eighteen. Women reach theirs at thirty-five. Do you get the feeling that God is playing a practical joke?

When I was a kid I had two friends, and they were imaginary, and they would only play with each other. [HBO: "Born to be Mild"]
I was going to have cosmetic surgery until I noticed that the doctor's office was full of portraits by Picasso.

Before I met my husband, I'd never fallen in love...I'd stepped in it a few times. [HBO: "Born to be Mild"]
I had teeth that stuck out so far, I used to eat other kids' candy bars by accident.
