If this whole writing thing doesn't work out, I'll be getting right back on the pole.

'Sweet Valley High' is fantastic, fabulous, a little bit campy, and - dare I say it - cinematic.

I am actually able to do other things. I'm not just this writer.

I would never consent to a lame publicity stunt at a time when I already want to hide.

Personally, I consider 'Titanic' the most brilliant example of successful counterprogramming; the film actually countered itself by embedding an epic chick flick within a classic disaster movie.

I've been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels.

I've never even seen a great set fight or a great set meltdown. I seem to always be on these incredibly relaxed sets.
