The whole trick is to make it feel like you're spying on real people's lives as they get through the day. When I'm writing, I have to trick myself as a writer.

To be honest, I think that Republicans love terrorism.

The gift of life is the gift to suffer sometimes and to embrace it, heartbreak and all.

I think Jennifer Lawrence is that inside of herself. As long as I've known her she's been both 10 years old and 50 years old.

And I've watched her have to take on and deal with a great deal of attention and resources and people.
