"The other thing that happened was that we have a tendency to project our own weaknesses onto another woman. I don't think men do that particularly."

Previous Quote

A friend and I flew south with our children. During the week we spent together I took off my shoes, let down my hair, took apart my psyche, cleaned the pieces, and put them together again in much improved condition. I feel like a car that's just had a tune-up. Only another woman could have acted as the mechanic.
