It's an amazing luxury to say I'm 31 years old and I'm gonna take a year off. That's pretty amazing.

I try not to do email; I try to talk to people on the phone.

I remember feeling for the first time going somewhere where I was part of a community where I didn't feel like an outcast. I felt like I belonged. Everyone had a guitar strapped to their back.

Im a Harry Potter fan, a Twilight fan, and I think The Hunger Games surpasses them all.

Wherever there is an ignorant mass, you will see a flag of an ignorant leader fluctuating with glory!

It looks tough for Palace when you see some of the results they've got coming up.
