“I don't feel like a star; I never have. I don't feel like a star; I never have. I always feel like I'm the young one, I'm the small one. I always have someone to look up to, and I think it helps me with motivating myself.”
“When you're reading, you're not where you are; you're in the book. By the same token, I can write anywhere.”
