Like most people, I used to wear clothing off the rack. But having them fitted to me makes a really big difference, especially with pieces like a cocktail dress. Little nips and tucks can take 10 pounds off you.

Look at me. Home boy wore combat boots to the beach. I know you don’t want to call that your boyfriend, I know you don’t.

I've found when all I'm eating is really fresh, healthy foods, I stop craving pizza and burgers.

I love anything really feminine. I love any sort of girly detail - anything with a bow or a heart on it, I'm immediately in love with.

I don't call magazines and let them know about things so they can write stories.

My Dad always told me ‘Flowers mean I’m sorry, chocolates mean I love you.’

One of my biggest goals, especially with writing YA novels, is just to have people enjoy reading.
