S. E. Hinton

Movies can't ruin books. They can only ruin movies.

I grew up here and my friends are here. There's nothing wrong with here.

I just felt being part of my peer group so strongly. I was immersed in teen culture, but not taken in by it.

To me, tattoos are a way of people being able to express themselves and have other people look at them and get a little insight into who they are, without ever even saying a word to them.

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

Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
