You think in a different way when you don't have any money. The joy of poverty is that you use your imagination to come up with stuff.

I did shoplift but I didn't get in trouble for it. I shoplifted a lot when I was little. Candy. I would steal candy.

If I'm creating something for myself, then I want to have fun.

I always liked my teachers, and I was in a lot of after-school projects. I was a Girl Scout until my senior year, when I couldn't be a Girl Scout anymore. I was in clubs like Junior Achievement, and I ran track and field. My grades were good, but then toward 11th grade they were nothing. I always went to summer school.

I can't imagine going to an all-girls school. I went to a public school.

If you cannot come to the party, do not cancel at the last minute or give a message to a child to inform the host. And don't bother explaining why you can't attend because anything after 'because' is bullshit.

I think it's good for a person to spend time alone. It gives them an opportunity to discover who they are and to figure out why they are always alone.
