Girls like guys to be a challenge. It gives them some mold to fit in how they act. Like a mom. What would a mom do if she couldn't fuss over you and make you clean your room?

Banning books gives us silence when we need speech. It closes our ears when we need to listen. It makes us blind when we need sight.

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.

That was always my hope that that is exactly what I would do. It was always part of the dream of this story - to write the novel and then direct the movie.

I wasn't raised very religiously because my parents went to Catholic school, but I do believe in God very much. I just never gave God a name, if you know what I mean. I hope I haven't let Him down regardless.
