Candace Bushnell: Her Secrets
I can’t live without... books.
If I wasn’t a writer... I’d want to be an Olympic Dressage Equestrian.
I feel most comfortable in... my own skin. You take yourself wherever you go.
The book I reread the most is... Custom of the Country by Edith Wharton. The main character, Undine Sprague, is wicked and wonderfully unrepentant.
My favorite vintage piece is... a green fringed Michael Kors dress I bought in the late eighties.
The three words that describe me best are... imagination, passion, determination.
The best thing about New York City is... the people. Everyone has a story.
My mantra is... never have a mantra. Or a favorite color.
The best decision I’ve ever made... was to believe in myself.
The best part about writing the Carrie Diaries books was... writing The Carrie Diaries and Summer and the City! I know I’m lucky to have found work I love to do.
