Select your friendships carefully. Gather people around you who will reinforce your lifestyle.

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

I have a very small group of friends that I've had - the three of them - for the majority of my life.

As we grow up, it feels like you should either invite people into your life or not. There should be fewer and fewer instances of friends you 'can only take in small doses.'

Choose your friends carefully. It is they who will lead you in one direction or the other.

You need a really solid foundation of friends and family to keep you where you need to be.

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.

Try to have as diverse group of friends as possible and don't get into the the clique scenario.

I probably like being isolated more than many people do, but I'm lucky to have the friendship of many fine people, and they keep me from becoming very isolated. The world of my mind is certainly a populated and warm place, too. It's difficult for me to become too isolated with such resources.

I find it not hard to make friends, but it's definitely different when I go somewhere like summer camp and everyone already knows that I'm in 'Hunger Games'... My life is still pretty normal, and I still have some really great friends.
