I hope that in 5 years from now I'll be working and doing what makes me happy. Whatever that may be.

I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes.

A good edit process turns rocks into diamonds, and every author should love that part as much as the creative phase. I do love it. It's a different side to writing. It's like the fine-tuning.

Models are what they are... people who model clothing, that's all.

Pickup lines are a major turn-off, they don't work on me and I tune them out. It's better to just be honest.

I do love wearing heels but my feet can't be in them all day long. I want to have fun and dance so I need to be comfortable.

I'm still reading some scripts and I model as well, so I'm still doing that. But I don't want to do like just anything so we're being really selective about the stuff I'll do.

My greatest achievement so far is that I've been able to continue with my normal life. I love what I do, but more so, I'm glad to have people who care about me close by.

I think in most sports sometimes you need a little luck for the ball or calls to roll your way.

The editing process is a necessary evil. I can write until the cows come home but it is all garbage until it gets edited.

My experiences always influence my writing, but usually only on an emotional level. I have experienced death of a family member and it's easy to dredge up those feelings and get them on the page.

The holiest place on Earth, is not a temple or a church, but our relationship to one another.

Forgiveness is accepting someone's faults with love and kindness.

There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance.

I will not be afraid to let my talent shine.

Completely committed to adapting 'Fifty Shades of Grey'. This is not a joke. Christian Grey and Ana: potentially great cinematic characters.

I was so used to doing old blues licks with the first three fingers. When I started using my pinky and finding more spread things, that's when I started getting my own style.

Character is built out of circumstances. From exactly the same materials, one man builds palaces, while another builds hovels.

They [illegal immigrants] broke the law, but it's not a felony, it's an act of love. It's an act of commitment to your family.

When you're a fashion photographer, you must inspire a dream.

Many delight more in giving of presents than in paying their debts.
