I've learned that the more people embrace their disadvantages, the less disadvantaged they become!
I love thinking that there is magic in the world, that there are people in the world with amazing abilities that we just don’t know about.
The gay people I knew in real life were soft spoken and didn't want to call attention to themselves because they were terrified of exposing themselves, of people finding out that they're gay.
Whoa, I've really got to stop making plans with fictional characters. It can't be healthy to develop relationships with people who don't exist.
There are ways to meet people and surround yourself with like-minded people who will support you.
That’s my biggest fear – disappointing those people who look up to me.
Villains are mostly just people villainized by circumstance
People are not born heroes or villains; they’re created by the people around them.
A voice that was never wanted has become a voice for so many people who don’t have one.
Being a best-selling author just means the world for me. Some of my happiest memories, growing up, are being at book stores and reading books I couldn't afford, as a kid, and the midnight parties, waiting for the next Harry Potter book. The fact that I have that straw in my cap means more to me than anything I've ever accomplished before.
I think every time a movie gets made, it's a miracle. I would love to get to a point where it became easier and it wasn't so much of a struggle to get it done or finished.
Everyone that I meet always wants me to direct, but whenever I think of directing, I think of aligning shots. I'd definitely have to write and direct something. But I don't know if I could.
It doesn't matter how greatly you've been hurt or how much you're hurting, it's what you do with the pain that counts. You could cry for years or you could choose to learn and grow from it.
I wish I could walk into a room and feel superior and have my nose up at everybody, but I can't, because I know I'm just a huge nerd, and that wouldn't work for me.
