The wonderful thing about books is you never run out of them, you can just keep going. So I'm always finding new writers, or old writers that I just happen not to have read.

I think once you sort of cross over and you realize what books can be - and if they mean something to you - there's just no stopping you.

I think you can be mature without being grown-up. You can also be grown-up without being mentally mature. One of them is forced, while the other one is your choice.

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