He's just amazing, ... When your books are put into any other medium, you don't know what's going to happen to them. But he's a wonderful actor.

I can either spend all my time wishing it were perfect, trying to imagine it the way it was or might have been, or I can see how beautiful it is just like this.

Sometimes kids just act impulsively, but it's because we have strong feelings, not because we're trying to make trouble.
winning names be-who-you-are
