I'd always loved movies, but it wasn't some sort of desperate love of celluloid. It was literally like, "I want to write things, and I want people to see them more."

I felt highly anxious in a way that I didn't think other children were.

The people accusing me of being productive don't know how hard it is for me to just bend my elbow sometimes.

I don’t really read reviews… That’s not where my attention goes.

We're living in a world where [Judy Blume] books were ever banned, and now like "Fifty Shades of Grey" is being read in high schools. Like it's just a wild.

I get a lot of unasked for sexual confessions.

Don't wait around for someone else to tell your story. Do it yourself by whatever means necessary.
