The upside to grief is it takes away your appetite. When people say you look good they really mean it. Nature's thoughtful that way.

Society just has a way of inhibiting you, which is good and bad.

I'm not actually sure I'm grown-up enough for grown-up books.

I was a good kid, but I was just very chatty. Teachers were rarely entertained, but occasionally a child was, which was enough for me. Everything was so urgent. I needed to say it immediately.

I don't really believe in pretending to be happy when you're not. Mostly I believe that you should burden your friends with your problems.

When you’re in between dreams, you get to lean back and relax and stop trying so hard. Trying to be somebody, I mean. It’s not as exciting as being a television star, but it’s not that bad, either. You just have to learn to be satisfied with the way you are for a while. Not Forever. Just until you’re finished resting.

Moving makes you feel all alone inside.
