Frances McDormand is my favorite actor. I don’t know if that’s relevant. But she’s a person who plays people. In other words, not everything has to be an over-the-top Broadway musical to get my attention, but it certainly helps. Julie Klausner Read Quote
I have never been one for musicians. I know girls are supposed to go crazy for frontmen who close their eyes when they sing and nod their heads when the drums kick in, but I’m like Shania Twain with that stuff: That don’t impress me much. I’ll take wit and brains over the ability to carry a tune any day. Julie Klausner Read Quote
The only thing that’s a challenge for me is not working. I get depressed when I’m not in motion. Julie Klausner Read Quote
Here is how you meet women: You tell the girls you are friends with – the ones in relationships – that you want a girlfriend. You shouldn’t even have to say ‘Set me up’ or ‘Introduce me!’ If they’re good girls, they’ll get the hint. Julie Klausner Read Quote
Babies, babies, babies! They’re everywhere, aren’t they? In our eyes, in our thoughts, in our arms, in our dreams. Sometimes, in our dreams, they are riding alpacas or juggling tacos – but that doesn’t mean those dreams are necessarily about babies. Look, I’m not Freud. Julie Klausner Read Quote
I think when it comes to women who write or who fancy ourselves ‘hip downtown literati’, there is a certain contempt for being overly sexual or really looking for boyfriends. We tend to be marginalized as some ‘Sex & The City’ Carrie Bradshaw chick-lit dummies who just want shoes and a ring. Julie Klausner Read Quote
Any woman I know can smell a boyfriend a mile away. Women are intuitive: they know when a guy is interested but he’s not going to be there for her in that boyfriend-y way. Julie Klausner Read Quote
I think Joan Rivers is such an untapped legend that people just don’t appreciate, because they grew up with her on QVC, or they grew up with her on E!, or they grew up watching her do the things that in their minds the more prestigious comics wouldn’t have taken or done. Julie Klausner Read Quote
I love the ‘Housewives.’ I don’t watch ‘American Idol’ or ‘X Factor.’ I guess I don’t like network reality: I like my Bravo; I like documentary programming – I love ‘Intervention’ and some things on TLC more than others – but the ‘Real Housewives’ to me are really revolutionary, in terms of giving camera time to women of a certain age.

I wish podcasting was my only job – I have more fun doing that than I have doing absolutely anything else. But my job is that I’m a writer. Julie Klausner Read Quote
