I've never considered myself cool, and I don't think I ever will be. Honestly, it's better that way. It's much less pressure.

The thing is, with writing, it's form or content. You need to write about something interesting or you need to write about it in an interesting way.

That's my suggestion for kids who want to act, by the way: Make sure it's really your choice, get out of it when it stops being fun, and get an education.

I didn't trust adults because I thought they were all kind of corrupted. I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better. I guess I was a philosophical child.

It definitely is something that can get frustrating, because you want to live life on your own terms, and it feels for a while like you can't. But I've come to understand that I got to have all these amazing experiences that other people don't have. So this is the trade-off.

I thought children were pure and innocent, and that was inherently better.

If I were really really ridiculously wealthy, I wouldn’t buy a mansion, just tiny apartments in every city I love.
