My experience is that sequels are rarely as good as the originals.

…It’s not just where you go, but how you choose to get there.

I always wrote about girls that went to the beach and had that summer that changed everything. So I was interested in what it would be like to live in a tourist town where everyone has these life changing experiences, but your whole life is there.

You know, feeling and action are always linked, one can't exist without the other. It's sort of a hippie thing.

When someone starts to change, and it’s obvious, it's sort of natural to wonder why. Right?

There comes a time in every life when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your heart.

It wasn’t so much that I was positive. I just wasn’t fully subscribing to such a negative way of thinking anymore.
