I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience. Most of us, I tell ya, we don’t want to be divided. What we want—the common denominator that I found in every single interview—is that we want to be validated. We want to be understood.
I’ve done over 35,000 interviews in my career, and as soon as that camera shuts off everyone always turns to me and inevitably in their own way ask this question: “was that ok?”
I heard it from President Bush. I heard it from President Obama. I’ve heard it from heroes and from housewives. I’ve heard it from victims and perpetrators of crime. I even heard it from BE-YON-CÉ in all of her Beyoncé-ness. She finishes performing, hands me the microphone, and says “was that ok?” [x]

ATTENTION: MAN DOWN.
spent the evening with my LA gang last night. we caught a show at largo where fred armisen and jake shears from the scissor sisters made surprise appearances. mindy kahling was a stones throw away, and bridget everett and the tender moments made me laugh so hard that I laughed my party nail off.
no big deal, really.
but then i spent 57 minutes in dead stop traffic on the 405 this am, and couldn’t stop for polish remover.
major problems, y’all. MAY-GER.
never mess with a girl who writes.
she’ll write about you. and sometimes she’ll write you off.
but never both things at once.
