One of the most memorable things I hear is when someone tells me that my books got a reluctant reader to read.

'Lord of the Flies' is one of my favorite books. That was a big influence on me as a teenager; I still read it every couple of years.

When I was 13 or 14, my mother used to gift me books that I was dying to read. Those are my most memorable birthday gifts.

You call that a kiss?

When someone tells me not to do something, I'll do it more.

As soon as I hear music, something in me starts to vibrate.
