I don't know what's wrong with me. It's like all I can do is keep writing this gibberish to keep from breaking apart.

I don't know if it's better to be close with your daughter or make sure that she has a better life than you do.

I am really in love with Sam, and it hurts very much.

Susan was very fun to be around. She liked movies, and her brother Frank made her tapes of this great music that she shared with us. But over the summer she had her braces taken off, and she got a little taller and prettier and grew breasts. Now, she acts a lot dumber in the hallways, especially when boys are around. And I think it's sad because Susan doesn't look as happy.

Those writers that have zero say in their movie adaptations have zero say because they sell it. If you don't sell it, and you do it yourself, and you wait until the screenplay is ready, you don't have to worry about that.

Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.

I want to be an author/director and I'm writing my second book now and I want to make a movie of it, and I hope I get to do this for the rest of my life.
