My goal on my bucket list is to write a romantic comedy movie.

By the 6th grade I stopped doing ordinary things in front of people. It had been ordinary to sing, kids are singing all the time when they are little, but then something happens. It's not that we stop singing. I still sang. I just made sure I was alone when I did it. And I made sure I never did it accidentally. That thing we call 'bursting into song.' I believe this happens to most of us. We are still singing, but secretly and all alone.

I do love to eavesdrop. It's inspirational, not only for subject matter but for actual dialogue, the way people talk.

The histories of vampires and people are not so different, really. How many of us can honestly see our own reflection?

You keep seeing your picture on posters that you are missing but you're not. That'd be weird, right? Or say you look down at the sidewalk and earthworms are spelling your name. Or you open a peanut bag and the 'hello' is written in your writing on the inside of the shell. Would that weird ya?

Humor is such a wonderful thing, helping you realize what a fool you are but how beautiful that is at the same time.

I think of images as an immune system and a transit system.
