I don't spend and save whenever I have spare cash. I dislike people who boast about money.

I like paper statements rather than relying on computers. I feel more in control if my account details and transactions are broken down on paper.

Our career is a dream. I mean, we get to act, travel around the world, and meet cool people. What's not to love!

I want to get within myself and write. I really, really want to write.

Quests always have their ups and downs,' rumbled the giant. 'The point is never to give up, even if you're falling off a cliff. You never know what might happen on the way to the bottom.
