What I have learned over the years is to try to stay in the moment. I want to feel it all because I've realized nothing lasts.

I suppose whenever you go through periods of transition, or in a way, it's a very definite closing of a certain chapter of your life - I suppose those times are always going to be both very upsetting and also very exciting by the very nature because things are changing and you don't know what's going to happen.

I often feel that life is about to begin, only to realize it is almost over.

Whenever I have to do something, I try to minimise the time it takes me to do it. I just cannot wait.

I have spent the past several years working so hard to just move on, and to try and build a life for myself.

You know that feeling when you finish a final exam and you think, 'I never want to do that again'? Well I have the same feeling when I finish a novel. Each time I say, 'I think I may retire now' and then after six months the ideas start to churn again. I could never stop.

I tend to latch on to things and not let go.

There are still many things to work on - the start, the transition, the finish. I am not just going to sit around and wait.

I'm that type of person that if I feel like I'm doing the same thing in life, then I'm stuck. Always gotta be moving and doing something different.

Sometimes you have to stop something to really measure the passion that you have, and either you feel like moving, or you don't, and then maybe it's time to stop.
