I'll admit that it's not easy to get an agent, but becoming successful in anything requires perseverance.

What's the challenge in writing a novel that few people will read? I'm more than happy writing what I do and have no plans to change that.

There's always pressure, a great deal of pressure, when writing, since my first books were so successful.

I didn't want to be famous. I just wanted to earn enough money to have a nice life and enjoy acting.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.
