I'm not a public figure at all. I don't really go out a lot to places where there are people like those who sit at the bottom of your driveway. ↗

Sometimes it just doesn't translate to people. You just move on, and you feel bad because people worked so hard on it and everyone loved it... Everybody was treated so well and was going for something and trying to do the best work possible. ↗

When I'm writing a woman character, I don't think, 'What would a woman do?' I just think, 'What would this character do in this situation?' ↗

These days there are a lot of people who just want to be famous. I think that comes from a naive place, because those people generally don't know what it's like. ↗

At college age, you can tell who is best at taking tests and going to school, but you can't tell who the best people are. That worries the hell out of me. ↗

The scramble to get into college is going to be so terrible in the next few years that students are going to put up with almost anything, even an education. ↗

It requires more strength to be gentle, so it's the everyday encounters of life that I think we've prepared children for and prepared them to be good to other people and to consider other people. ↗

Charlotte: "It’s too bad they don’t give out diplomas for what you learn at the mall, because I could graduate with honors in that subject. No really. Since I’ve worked there, I’ve become an expert on all things shopping-related. For example, I can tell you right off who to distrust at the mall: 1) Skinny people who work at Cinnabon. I mean, if they’re not eating the stuff they sell, how good can it be? 2) The salesladies at department store makeup counters. No matter what they tell you, buying all that lip gloss will not make you look like the pouty models in the store posters. 3) And most importantly—my best friend’s boyfriend, Bryant, who showed up at the food court with a mysterious blonde draped on his arm. ↗

It is my contention that most people are not mugged every day, that most people in this world do not encounter violence every day. I think we prepare people for violence, and I think just as importantly we prepare people for the definition of being gentle. ↗

Play is the work of children. It's very serious stuff. ↗
