We don’t choose to be role models; we are chosen. Our only choice is whether to be a good role model or a bad one.

But we cannot simply sit and stare at our wounds forever.

I love to see a young girl go out and grab the world by the lapels. Life's a bitch. You've got to go out and kick ass.

Everybody, sooner or later, sits down to a banquet of consequences.

If you haven't the strength to impose your own terms upon life, then you must accept the terms it offers you.

I'm a writer, and I will write what I want to write.

Freedom is what we do with what is done to us.
