The truth is, when it gets really quiet, when the silence gets too loud, i really start to miss everyone.

So, I heard you're this ninja or something.

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.

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.

Welcome to the island of misfit toys.

I found, through the process of doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' that I really love directing movies and I love writing books and so this will become the centerpiece of my career for the next ten or twenty years. Doing these adaptations.

When I was driving home, I just thought about the word 'special'. And I thought the last person who said that about me was my Aunt Helen. I was very grateful to have heard it again. Because I guess we all forget sometimes. And I think everyone is special in their own way. I really do.
