I always say, better ask forgiveness than permission.

Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.

If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off." I love you too." - Saphira and Eragon

No hunter of the sky should end his days as prey. Better to die on the wing than pinned to the ground. [Saphira]

Death is part of who we are. It guides us. It shapes us. It drives us to madness. Can you still be human if you have no mortal end

The biggest sacrifice to me is to not be in an atmosphere where I can keep writing and moving forward.

Theology is the doctrine or teaching of living to God.

The artists who want to be writers, read the reviews; the artists who want to write, don't.

I've loved making movies. I feel like I've been so lucky because I've gotten to be in movies that are some of my favorites, regardless of my being in them - like 'Heathers.'
