I don't give books as gifts. Books are extremely personal, and I would hate to give someone a book that they don't like or want, because it would break my heart if they didn't read it.

Writing used to be my hobby, but now that it's my job, I have no hobby - except watching TV and laying around the pool reading 'U.S. Weekly.' I have tried many hobbies, such as knitting, Pilates, ballet, yoga, and guitar, but none of them have taken.

I realized that life is so short: Why waste one minute of it worrying what other people think or say about you, or what score you got on some test? Why not believe what you want to believe, and do what you love?

I get accused all the time of having a big mouth. But if you ask me, guys gossip way more than girls do.

oh my god, she said are you going to be reasonable about this?

They say it’s always darkest until right before the dawn. I’ve worked on enough projects to know how true this saying really is.

One of the biggest motivations for me with writing my books is to offer girls some escapism, especially girls who really need it, like I did.
