I am such a rewriter; I have so many notebooks filled with drafts you wouldn't believe.

I am not sure that the inner world of teenage girls has changed. What's most important to kids today is still the same stuff.

I am a big defender of 'Harry Potter,' and I think any book that gets kids to read are books that we should cherish, we should be thankful for them.

I have a great T-shirt that I received at the New Jersey Hall of Fame when I was inducted. It says - it makes me choke up - it says, 'I'm a Jersey tomato'... I am. I am a Jersey girl and proud of it.

I can't relate to people who treat me as a 'famous person.' I only like to hang around with people who treat me as a regular person because that's what I am. All people are really just regular.

I don't have two different personalities. I am what I am.
