You can't ever create defensively. You just have to create the next thing that really speaks to you.

You really can't quantify what 'Dietland' is.

For me, the interesting thing about anorexia is that you show your wound. There's no hiding it. So my anger and sense of disappointment, all the stuff I was out of touch with, became this visible rebuke to my parents.

The great thing about the story of 'Twilight', or the story of 'I Am Number Four' is that you get to deal with real issues of identity and what people are going through and the choice of who you're going to be, but it's all large.

When one thing ends, you put it away and start from scratch on the next thing.

Next thing you know they'll take your thoughts away.
