I'm not expecting the American literary community to welcome me with open arms. To them I'm just some schmuck kid who wrote some book.

Michael Jackson and I talk all the time. I think we understand each other in a way that most people can't understand either of us.

I felt like I had two fathers. I had my real father and the father in my head.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

I am a collection of thoughts and memories and likes and dislikes. I am the things that have happened to me and the sum of everything I've ever done. I am the clothes I wear on my back. I am every place and every person and every object I have ever come across. I am a bag of bones stuck to a very large rock spinning a thousand miles an hour.

I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.

I've always said that acting found me. I didn't really find it.
