I've got a new relationship and I'm trapped in this old life.

I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral.

We had two rules growing up in my house: If you're going to take a shower, do it with whomever you're dating so you don't waste water; and if you buy one for yourself, buy six, because everybody's going to want one.

I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad.

How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible.

I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me.

I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't.

If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it's being washed up right after.

Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something.
