Jane Green

"Every time my dreams threaten to become reality, something always happens and I end up alone."

"I have a deep and passionate love of America. It is where I have always thought I would be happiest, and although I miss England desperately, I find that my heart definitely has its home over here."

"Going through an illness and then death of a close friend has changed my attitudes to friendship enormously."

"I think friendship is more important than love, but that love that grows out of friendship is the very best of all."

"Chick lit was amazing, and I was thrilled to be part of it."

"I have a business manager and a book-keeper who deals with our household bills. My husband and I sit down with her for a weekly report on how much money is going out, but I'm not terribly interested, and I don't have the patience for it."

"When a man only rings you late at night, when he only wants to see you late at night, when he doesn't take you out for dinner, or introduce you to his friends, or spend any time or attention on you, then this is not a relationship. This is sex."
