I knew I didn't want to put anything down in writing about the first time that I had sex. I knew that I didn't want to do that.

The Hollywood stuff in the book tended to come later. I think it was because I was worried about leading with that stuff. I wanted to try to make sure that the other stories in the book were as interesting. I wanted to spend more time on them and craft them. The thing is, with writing, it's form or content.

Puberty was definitely difficult for me. I remember my friends and I looking forward to puberty because it seemed exciting at first. You read Judy Blume and you think, "This is kind of cool." But when it actually started happening to me, I was terrified.

I was such a nerd. It just wasn't something I would have wanted. And I didn't want to act like an adult.

No, you will never see me on 'Dancing With the Stars.' Sorry.

I can't take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.
