Marian Keyes Quotations | Page 2

I've kind of realized life is meant to be tough and everybody is in psychic and spiritual discomfort of some sort and has a burden to carry. I've realized I'm not special.

For all of my life it was the size of my rear that caused me the most hand-wringing, but in this nearly-50 zone it is my stomach that is the problem. It seems to have broken free from its moorings and there is no knowing how far it will roam.

I'm quite introverted but I'm not shy.

For feel-good fiction to work, there has to be an element of darkness.

Every day I wake up afraid that I won't be able to write, that today is the day it has left me.

I am prone to despair. We are all born with a particular personality. I get afraid and then I don't want to leave the house.

As you know, I don't believe in fear, just an invention by men so they get all the money and good jobs.

I don't like this idea of division: that if you're a clever woman then you've got to be a particular way. Because men don't. Men please themselves.

I like hoodies. They just make me feel safe.

I still get awful depression. It's who I am.
