I've always protected myself when it comes to love. And maybe that's the problem. By not letting myself get hurt now, it ripples into much bigger pain later.

Life's a car ride...Sometimes it's cruise control down smooth highways. Other times it's potholes on rural roads.

My voice dropped when I was 14. And when I was 14, I might have weighed 75 pounds. So you can imagine how strange that must have been: like James Earl Jones speaking through a sock puppet.

I have a theory that the Internet makes people stupider. And Also FOX News makes people stupider.
