The most mortifying fact of my life is something that happened when I was fourteen and I have never admitted to anyone: not to friends nor therapists; not even in rehab when we were detailing our own personal spirals of shame did I confess. It is this: I am a graduate of the Barbizon School of Modeling.

I like, though, that people have a hunger to connect with other people. They're desperate to know that you're not lying to them or misleading them.

The past doesn't haunt us, we haunt the past.

When you have your health, you have everything. When you do not have your health, nothing else matters at all.

People generally like happy endings, which is something I learned from my years in advertising. I like happy endings myself, but only if they're honest. I'm just as happy with a terrible, hopeless ending.

It's weird - sort of not terribly wise - to take a book that was successful and then change its cover.

I'm always prepared for the worst.
