I've never been a model, I was an actress for like a minute, but I've always been a writer. That's where I'm going to stay.

Any good writer is going to be well-received and is going to not be well-received; that's how you know you're a great writer.

My grandfather started his autobiography before he died; he never finished it. I would like to finish his autobiography because I finished mine.

I've always had a man's mindset, and that's why I mostly have men friends, and that's why I've been around so many men. I've always been a tomboy. And any man that knows me will tell you I'm not a girly girl.

In certain parts of the world - where I'm at right now in New York, you're going to pay a whole lot more. In Los Angeles, your average starter home is a million dollars. So I need more money in Los Angeles to live like a normal person. If I live in another city, Iowa maybe, I wouldn't need as much.

I've been writing since I'm five years old. I've been writing books since high school - junior high, high school. I write every single day. I never thought I'd be published.
