Even though I occasionally appear on it, I don't watch television.

My whole thing is that I want to explore why you read books, what's the purpose of reading, and maybe that it's not that cool to hate something just because it's popular.

Acting on stage is still my favorite thing to do. And everyone who's been in musicals knows that there is nothing more fun.

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 think that the mark of a great book is that it will meet you wherever you're at and you'll feel and experience something new and different each time you read it.

After a brief period in which I had let many a Southern Californian convince me that it was all 'in my mind,' I am once again officially allergic to dogs.

I really like to travel when I write. Something about seeing new things and being in new cultures and environments provokes new thoughts in your head.
