I prefer to subscribe to that whole, “everything happens for a reason” theory, mostly because the alternative is too disturbing to think about.

The thing about me and books is that whichever one I’m reading always reminds me of whatever’s happening in my life during that time.

The information age is so psychotic - without the cell phone and Internet, I would be drama free right now.

You have to give respect to get respect.

The thing about loving someone, is that yelling at them only feels good while you're doing it -- as soon as they're gone, all you want to do is take it all back

People come and go, in and out of each other’s lives like it’s nothing. So I don’t know how/why this should be a big deal.

I have done interviews in the past, and they cut everything out except for the outrageous line, and then they take it out of context.

A reason that the past is so hated by the young is that there is no way to be entirely free of it.
