Ideas move rapidly when their time comes.

Romance is the glamour which turns the dust of everyday life into a golden haze.

You can flush my ashes down the toilet, for all I care.

I'd date someone younger or older; age doesn't matter to me. Or looks, really - it's all about maturity.

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

All the books I was reading as a teenager were about individuals having adventures. So I thought that was what writers were supposed to do: to go out on the road.
