I find that break-ups are so much easier when you can hate the person.

It took me a long time to realize that being a girl is so much more powerful than being a guy, but I really saw myself as boy for a long while.

It's weird, It's really weird to be called a breakout star. And some people are referring to my show as the new 'Friends', which I can't really even wrap my head around

You'd be surprised. Girls like sensitive, namby-pamby guys.

I'm really awkward when people recognize me. I'm not good at it, and for the most part it hadn't happened to me until 'True Blood,' and then, all of a sudden, it started happening all the time.

I wonder if it will rain after we die. When you kill yourself, you don't know what happens next, afterward.

Learn to hear your inner voice, be led by your heart and never stop giving back – this way you shall always walk the right path and shall never be walking alone.

As a student of enlightenment your attitude should not be to become enlightened. It should be to learn.

I don't even wear shoes with heels because I hate making a noise when I walk and people looking at me.

No one can tell me that I'm doing wrong.

This country's crazy in terms of fame and what people think it means. They expect a writer to be something between a Hollywood starlet and the village idiot.

There are certain pieces of music that are always attached to certain books.

Tis a dainty thing to command, though 'twere but a flock of sheep.

And smile, you know I always tell the girls to smile because I hate sad faces.
