I can't stand films that make the kids out to be heroes and the parents to be imbeciles.

I think we do live in a very specialized society, where once you think about somebody as one thing, it's hard to change that. But I do a lot of things. I act, I write, I sing.

I can't' really sing a song unless I really connect with the lyrics.

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

Getting the pretty back is about getting back in touch with your essential self: the part of you that knows what you really want.

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

What I like about being alone is being able to do whatever you want and it's for yourself.
