Any good writer is going to be well-received and is going to not be well-received; that's how you know you're a great writer.

There are a lot of things that I have not shared that I will never share. I do have a personal private life.

I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.

I'm a power fanatic. I like to own things, and have them be mine. Acting doesn't belong to you, if you're not the writer or the director.

When Goldie Hawn wrote her memoirs, no one said Goldie Hawn was snitching. When Jane Fonda wrote her memoirs, no one said Jane Fonda was snitching.

I don't even listen to hip-hop anymore. All my friends are white and over 40.

There are some people who are very powerful who I will never name, because I want to be able to work in this town.
