I remember keeping a lot of journals and diaries and trying to form a complete thought just based off of those immediate, raw feelings. If anything, I was conscious about how I just always wanted to be as honest as possible, no matter how vulnerable it would make me seem.

I am a very honest person, and I can only say there are moments in my life where I really did think I was being me in the sense of my morals and beliefs and the way I acted. But when I look back at certain things that I wore and my hair and make-up, I was like, 'Whoa! That wasn't me!' But I didn't know it back then.

I have built my reputation on honesty, I have sometimes been too honest.

It's difficult for most of us to be completely honest with ourselves - we hate to admit how vulnerable or needful we are.

Since when is anyone truly honest with anyone?

Teenagers have a natural curiosity and are keen to clock up experiences. What they need to be wary of is that some experiences may erode their sense of self and lead to a fragmentation of morals.

As a teenager, I wanted to be sophisticated and avant-garde, and I was really judgmental. But when you're a teenager, you're fearless because you don't know the repercussions to anything.

Most writers flinch at the thought of being completely honest about themselves. So absolute honesty is what marks the true modern.

I always wanted to be honest with myself and to those who have had faith in me.

The only problems I've ever had with being honest is telling people how I feel about them or saying how I feel about other people.
