I'm not a masochistic reader. If something is just too dense or not enjoyable, even though I'm told it should be good for me, I'll put it down. That said, most of what I read would be considered high-end or good for you, I suppose. But, I also think that reading should be enjoyable.

I actually have a thing about proper nouns. They clang on my ear in a weird way when I hear them dropped into movies.

I learned a lesson which I didn't heed: Don't put yourself in your movies. It's too much.

No matter how dark things may get in a story, I feel it's the responsibility of the storyteller to leave the audience with at least a shred of hope.

We don't have a lot of space in our imaginations to allow people to expand what they do.

One of the secrets to life is saying yes to change and allowing things to transition, but I also think you have to mark the time and give thanks for all that it gave you.

In college, you're kind of designing who you want to be. And I wanted to be a big reader.
