“Vera
said: ‘Why do you feel you have to turn everything into a story?’
“So
I told her why.
“Because
if I tell the story, I control the version.
“Because
if I tell the story, I can make you laugh, and I would rather have you laugh at
me than feel sorry for me.
“Because
if I tell the story, it doesn't hurt as much.
“Because
if I tell the story, I can get on with it.”— Nora Ephron, Heartburn (1983)
