As a little kid growing up in Hollywood, I was called 'a little crazy'. And now I guess I'm still that way.

My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'

The Moon shows us only one side of its face and there is no man on Earth who can succeed this! Every man's other face has its time to be seen!

You know what I did after I wrote my first novel? I shut up and wrote twenty-three more.

Most people use excuses to cover up mistakes, but it takes less time to do something right the first time.
