I feel like you may be a special and kind person. And I would like to make it my business to know special and kind people. Especially if they are boys my age.

I thought about the bigger picture of my life, and about the people—and particularly the guys—I would encounter during my lifetime. How would I ever know when that moment was right, when expectation met anticipation and formed … connection?

I'm liking that I can throw any kind of sentence at her without worrying it's too out there.

It's the great male fantasy-all it takes is one dance to know that she's the one. All it takes is the sound of her song from the tower, or a look at her sleeping face. And right away you know-this is the girl in your head, sleeping or dancing or singing in front of you. Yes, girls want princes, but boys want their princesses just as much.

I am stronger than words and I am bigger than the box I'm in, and then I see her in the crowd and I fall apart -I am listening and I am listening because what I'm playing isn't something I'm thinking about, it's something I'm feeling all over.

Usually my characters, though young, tend to be street-wise.

I don't know why I'm saying any of this, except that it's the truth. -Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist

I feel like there's so much darkness in all of my books.

I don't see why ogling same-sex kissing should be the exclusive domain of frat boys whacking off to lesbian action, that's so sexist. Feminism should be all inclusive- it should be about sexual liberation, equal pay for equal work, and the fundamental girl right of boy2boy appreciation.

You should never wish for wishful thinking.

All this hoping for nothing-or someone-that's maybe hopeless

Life is funny, baby, and that's no joke

So much is happening and yet nothing at all.

It's bullshit to think of friendship and romance as being different. They're not. They're just variations of the same love. Variations of the same desire to be close.

I was horribly bookish, to the point of coming right out and saying it, which I knew was not socially acceptable.

That’s what I like about sports. No matter if everyone playing the game speaks completely different languages, on the field, or the court, wherever they are playing, the language of moves and passes and scores is all the same. Universal.
