There've been times when I have existential conversations with myself, and I've thought about leaving and trying to apply my education better. But ultimately it doesn't really matter. Learning how to write, learning how to write papers and structure, that's been very helpful for writing.

I think people kind of come in who they are, and it sort of doesn't even matter who their parents are - it can affect you a little bit, and you can be guided and shaped.

For the most part, there's so much of me in my characters.

I have to say, you know, I've seen so many people go through the cycle and become famous and not famous anymore and, you know, want - have their priorities change and want different things.

The minute you feel like there's nothing left to learn, whether it's with your career or life, you're done.

I'm terrified of performing live.

Chemotherapy is brutal. The goal is pretty much to kill everything in your body without killing you.
