So, the advice that I would always give is make sure you've got your own career, before you put your child in the business.

Sometimes, when you're not getting a whole lot of attention, you're actually walking the right path.

It's very important that your parents have careers of their own. When the kid becomes the breadwinner of the household, that's when you have problems.

You need fans in high places, I always tell people. I don't care how talented you are.

The conventions of an almighty agency tapping you for greatness and signing you up and telling you this is going to be the next big thing; that has not been my career.

Writing is still on my slate.

I feel like I've been in love, but I have stood aside from it over and over again in my life. It's all you want, but it's terrifying.

I looked at my shoulder and saw a javelin stuck in it. I was in shock.

Men become accustomed to poison by degrees.
