I didn't have parents who were, you know, racing to get a reality television show, you know? Or looking to benefit in some way from their daughter's fame.

We are the most brutal with the people we love the most.

I can't believe I gave my panties to a geek.

I wish I had been more prepared, both for success and for failure, when I was younger.

All of the advice that I give, I'm not an expert by any means, but it's just my opinion. So if somebody likes me or likes y style or my career, I think they should have that feeling.

I don't have control over how people choose to perceive me. The only thing I have control over is my writing.

I think when people hear about a celebrity writing a book of any kind, the assumption is that it was dictated to a ghostwriter.
