I better be honest about my feelings, even those involving loneliness, jealousy, and fear.

After three straight years of writing, though, I definitely needed a break to just go live my life.

St. Louis has a lot of weird food customs that you don't see other places - and a lot of great ethnic neighborhoods. There's a German neighborhood. A great old school Italian neighborhood, with toasted ravioli, which seems to be a St. Louis tradition. And they love provolone cheese in St. Louis.

I am so glad I was writing while on my last book tour, which was really meta, but I think a fascinating look inside the reality of what that whole madness is about.

I love getting into restaurants and getting free stuff - that part of fame I definitely enjoy!

The very idea of printing my diary has always struck me as completely superficial.

When you're taking your one-thousandth selfie of the day that might be the moment you try to kill the person by lethal hugging!
