I just love biography, and I'm fascinated by people who have shifted our destinies or our points of view.

I hate biographies which say, I was called to such and such an office, and he offered me so and so, and I got so and so money. I find that very tedious. The best biographies are written by other people.

I've always had an abundance of material about the subjects of my biographies.

I love biographies. I read Patti Smith's 'Just Kids.' I'm into that time frame in New York, the '70s and '80s. In art school, I read 'Close to the Knives,' the autobiography of the artist and AIDS activist David Wojnarowicz.

I think a biography is only as interesting as the lives and times it illuminates.

Most of the stories I read are about my Hollywood pedigree.

My father loved biographies. He loved the true tales of interesting people that were shaping our culture. I get why he dug 'Vanity Fair.' You feel smarter, somehow, for reading it.

I am a huge fan of biographies. What I'm always looking for is a story. I want a story I have never heard from anyone else.

I am a total sucker for an actor's autobiography/biography. I have probably read most of them.

My reading is always about musical biographies. I have an innate interest and passion for that.
