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

Moving makes you feel all alone inside.

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.

I find the term perfect child to be an oxymoron.

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

I happen to think that a book is of extraordinary value if it gives the reader nothing more than a smile or two. It's perfectly okay to take a book, read it, have a good time, giggle and laugh - and turn off the TV. I love that.

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.
