Each of us has the power and responsibility to become a rainbow in the clouds.

Every experience shapes your writing, being stuck in a car on a lonely bridge, or dancing at a prom, being the it girl on the beach, all of those things influence your life, they influence how you write, and the topics you choose to write about.

Few, if any, survive their teens. Most surrender to the vague but murderous pressure of adult conformity.

If you are always trying to be normal you will never know how amazing you can be.

If we are honest and fair, then we are known by that. If we are not, alas, we are known by that as well. What we want to do is do right, but you have to say it, you have to show it, and not stop.

I think a hero is any person really intent on making this a better place for all people.

I will write on the pages of history what I want them to say. I will be myself. I will speak my own name.
