Writing is very much a playground - an artistic playground. It's the most fun thing I do.

I don't eat meat, fish, or eggs. I was never a big meat-eater, but I've got more energy now. I eat a lot of tofu, and I drink soy shakes with fruit every morning. I always have soybeans, black beans, or chickpeas for lunch or dinner

I find that the very things that I get criticized for, which is usually being different and just doing my own thing and just being original, is the very thing that's making me successful.

You got a way with words, you keep me smiling, even when it hurts.

It's very hard to be honest with yourself when something's just not working.

So many people bare their midriffs, I don't know why mine is such an issue.

So what do you think you're Elvis or something, whatever that don't impress me.
