I think the world offers so many wonderful varieties of obstacles, but that shouldn't be one for kids - is the worry that 'my parents wont be there.'

When things are perfect, that's when you need to worry most.

I think that being happy makes the biggest impact on your physical appearance.

When I was a kid, everything was so unplanned, my parents were so erratic, and my world was so inconsistent.

I'm very sensitive to the English language. I studied the dictionary obsessively when I was a kid and collect old dictionaries. Words, I think, are very powerful and they convey an intention.

I started finding hearts in things - whether it was like, a tree I was passing, a straw wrapper on the ground; I think the heart has one continuous line, which is very powerful.
