I think of the past and the future as well as the present to determine where I am, and I move on while thinking of these things.

When I'm writing something and I'm really into it, that's all I can think about, and it becomes the most important thing in the world to me, and it may not be that, in reality.

My mother always taught me to think about things from other people's perspectives and think about where they're coming from.

I have a certain way of thinking where I see something, and I know that I want it and I make up my mind - and that's pretty much all there is to it. It was like, This is what I want to do, and I'm going, and everything's going to work out. I'm going to be an actress. There was no way around it.

I usually write things in my head before I ever write them down. When I write it out, usually I've already figured out what it is I'm trying to do.

Usually I decide on what it is I'm writing next by the books I'm reading.

My own way of thinking is very conservative, very linear and not particularly imaginative, but if I look for things in different places, sometimes things happen.

I think in my life I have so many things that changed so much with work and my career, and I don't really get to plan out a lot of my days. So when I have something that's familiar - just something that's there - I don't really like to switch it up.

Usually, I walk around and think about things. When I come across a thought that makes me laugh, I write it down.

That's the way I've been educated: I always think about what I missed and the things that you did, you did them, so you don't have to think about them any more.
