“If I find cool, open-minded people, want to do unique one-of-a-kind kind of project, I'll do it as long as I can.”
“I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.”
“I'd made enough made money by the time I was 12 to never work again, so it's not about a big pay check with me.”
“I don't mind if somebody comes up to me and shakes my hand, but if I'm in the middle of a restaurant and somebody asks me for a picture, I can be a jerk and say no, or I can say yes and draw more attention to myself, which is exactly the opposite of what I want.”
“I don't even know how to define myself. I'm a person who writes. It's something I enjoy, and hopefully people enjoy it as well.”
“A lot of people meet me and they're like, 'Why aren't you crazy?'”

“It's a place where I could do something on a weekly basis and see if I like it.”
“My father was overbearing. Very controlling. He was always the way he is, even before my success. He was not always a good person. He'd play mind games to make sure I knew my place.
