I've always been the bookish type, and I've never really hidden that about myself.

I write in bed, too. I find it very comforting. I want to sort of, like, crawl in a fetal position if I have to.

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.

I think once you're a mother, you kind of always see your kids as a baby anyway no matter how old they get.

I've been acting for so long it's more like - I won't say easy, exactly, but there's not the same angst with writing that comes about with acting. Writing - particularly when you're writing yourself, when it's you, when it's your life, you really can't hide.

I'm really intimidated by beautiful people. Beautiful guys, especially.

Whatever it is that gives you that confidence will vary from person to person, but I do believe that it is the key to succeeding at anything in life - career, relationships, anything.
