I won't be attempting to write Jane Austen-style prose - that would be suicidal. But I will attempt to bring the highest level of my own prose, and to make it sparkle.
It's been a dream of mine to run my own summer camp. I went to one as a kid, and I put on productions, and got lots of confidence.
For my own family, I would always choose the makeshift, surrogate family formed by various characters unrelated by blood.
In my own private-sector work, I have become intrigued with RIWI, a Canadian based company that surveys random respondents on the Web to measure attitudes in otherwise hard-to-reach places.
I really have had to swallow my own prejudice at times.
I used to print out lyrics from Nas songs and write my own lyrics in the same syllable count but with different words and different rhymes.
I would never speak about specifics in my own relationships because I think it's tacky.
I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule.
I have my own grown-up versions of temper tantrums, too. I have a hard time not getting hurt when my kids have meltdowns.
I see so many people in our industry, in my own network, who throw little tantrums about things that they can't control.
Even though I was super personal with 'American Teen,' I want to tap in and not just tell my own stories but tell the stories of other people - so that I can help as many people as possible.
I just would hate to have to fight my own teammate. I would never want to.
I became obsessed with Simian Mobile Disco's music and poorly attempted to make my own techno music.
I've been a teenage girl, too, so I've had my own insecurities and my own struggles that I've got through.
With my own memoirs, they are truthful, and I write everything fully expecting to some day end up televised on Court TV, and I'm fully prepared to be challenged legally on it.
If I'm left to my own devices, I will be tempted to make the most unlistenable music possible.
My own journey as a writer has been the discovery of different theatrical voices. Chekhov was a revelation. Tennessee Williams was another one. We read 'The Glass Menagerie' in high school, and I still remember the cover.
It's impressive to the girl that I'm texting that I have my own emojis. It adds to my charm as a man seeking love.
I don't have a therapist, so I use me as my own therapist when I'm making the music.
I don't want to be a thief of my own wallet.
