- Considered hiring a ghostwriter but ended up doing it all herself
- Her editor at Simon & Schuster was like “Great work” on the first draft and gave her no notes. She got annoyed and re-edited it more
- She enjoys motherhood even though she suffered from post-partum depression. Doesn’t have a nanny and mostly tried to raise her son by herself
- She and Jia Tolentino talk about raising their kids upper middle-class when they were raised poorer and how they don’t want their kids to struggle but also mourn the lack of insight they will have (OP note: uhhh weren’t Jia’s parents involved in human trafficking?)
- Has lost a lot of friends to drugs and says she used to laugh all the time and only laughs once a year now
- The past 2 years she has been celibate, says she is focusing on looking a way women would appreciate but men would find grotesque (OP note: same girl, same)
- Believes in God and still prays
