Music is a vital part of my life, and it has been since I was a kid. It helped me find my identity as a person, it helped me find my identity as an artist, and it helped me get in touch with emotions that I didn't know I had.

More quotes by Stephen Chbosky
I don't think we should base so much on weight, muscles, and a good hair day, but when it happens, it's nice. It really is.
Stephen Chbosky
Well, I think that part of being young is not exactly knowing why you do some of the things that you do. And it's by exploring your life or experimenting or making mistakes and learning from them hopefully that you start to forge an identity.
Stephen Chbosky
I think the idea is that every person has to live for his or her own life and then make the choice to share it with other people. Maybe that is what makes people participate.
Stephen Chbosky
It’s like when you’re excited about a girl and you see a couple holding hands, and you feel so happy for them. And other times you see the same couple, and they make you so mad. And all you want is to feel happy for them because you know that if you do, then it means you’re happy, too.
Stephen Chbosky
When I did a study of all the coming-of-age movies that meant a lot to me, whether it was 'The Graduate' or 'Rebel Without a Cause' or 'Dead Poet's Society,' they all had that timeless feel. None of them were completely married to the details of their age. They felt timeless in their treatment of it. That's what made them resonate with me.
Stephen Chbosky
Despite everything my mom and doctor and dad have said to me about blame, I can't stop thinking what I know. And I know that my aunt Helen would still be alive today if she just bought me one present like everybody else. She would be alive if I were born on a day that didn't snow.
Stephen Chbosky
I guess when you see somebody in the hallway or on the field or something, it's nice to know that they are a real person.
Stephen Chbosky
I have decided that maybe I want to write when I grow up. I just don't know what I would write.
Stephen Chbosky
Part of the reason I wrote the book was I wanted to understand for myself why such good people let themselves get treated so badly.
Stephen Chbosky
I found, through the process of doing 'The Perks of Being a Wallflower,' that I really love directing movies and I love writing books and so this will become the centerpiece of my career for the next ten or twenty years. Doing these adaptations.

Craig said the problem with things is that everyone is always comparing everyone with everyone
Stephen Chbosky
I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have.
Stephen Chbosky
The fights are always the same
Stephen Chbosky
I didn't know that other people thought things about me. I didn't know that they looked.
Stephen Chbosky
I just wish that God or my parents or Sam or my sister or someone would just tell me what's wrong with me. Just tell me how to be different in a way that makes sense. To make this all go away.
Stephen Chbosky
I was looking at the photographs and I started thinking that there was a time when these weren't memories.
Stephen Chbosky
I don't even remember the season. I just remember walking between them and feeling for the first time that I belonged somewhere.
Stephen Chbosky
It’s much easier not to know things sometimes. And to have french fries with your mom be enough.
Stephen Chbosky
I was in the shopping mall because that's where I go lately. For the last couple of weeks, I've been going there every day, trying to figure out why people go there. It's kind of a personal project.

The sound of the radio fades to nothing because the waves just can't reach
