I know hate is a strong word and everything, but its okay: we're teenagers.

No matter the truth, people see what they want to see.

I decided that, if I were to write a teen series, I'd want to set it in a place that was familiar to me - Manhattan, where I'd grown up - and I'd model the characters on myself and my friends.

the garbage cans and mailboxes on the sidewalk would stay the same, but the people would be just a beautiful blur of motion.

Just because we can't be together doesn't mean I don't love you

I'm just a crazy person. I mean, I really didn't have any trouble coming up with weird ways for people to die. I think I'm just very twisted!

I tend to stare at people and memorize what they're saying and how they say it.
