My grandmother and I saw an average of eight movies a week, double features, second run.

What I do when I write is I just write the way I would tell it, so it comes out just exactly the way I would talk to you.

Before you go to bed, write down three 'gratefuls' for the day and three 'did wells' (they can even include something as simple as doing the laundry)-the results can be amazing!

I liked myself better when I wasnt me.

My grandmother and I followed my mother here, to a house a block north of Hollywood Boulevard but a million miles away from Hollywood, if you know what I mean. We would hang out behind the ropes and look at the movie stars arriving at the premieres.

Originally, I came from Texas, and we lived on - I guess you'd call it welfare, what we called relief.

I love the writing. I love the idea of typing and seeing it on the computer and printing it out myself and, you know, moving sentences around. I like that.
