I lie to myself all the time. But I never believe me.

I never base a character on someone I know. You can get ideas from real life, but every character you write is some aspect of yourself.

You know what the crummiest feeling you can have is? To hate the person you love the best in the world.

the person in this picture is really me.

Nothing sparkly can stay.

All of a sudden it felt like people were peering over my shoulder, wondering what I would write next. I was blocked for four years.

You get tough like me and you don't get hurt. You look out for yourself and nothin' can touch you.
