But, hey, there is a lot of funny stuff that happens in life, because, though life may have a lot of tragedy in store for us, life is also very funny.

And there was a study done at Temple University that goes into greater detail on that.

It wasn't until my teenage years that a book really left a mark, and that was George Orwell's 'Nineteen Eighty-Four.'

I'm very interested in the way the Internet has changed teenage life. Obviously it's very different from when I grew up, when there weren't even answering machines, much less computers.

I always wanted to be a part of Nicolas Winding Refn world, but knew he would never make a movie that has a teenage girl as a lead. Obviously not. Then I heard he was and it was in the fashion world.

Through the process of specifically writing this memoir, there was so much reckoning that I had to do. It was very difficult. It doesn't erase anything that happened, but I think that it was healthy for me to do it.

In the same way that my mom processes her grief and her problems. This project, as a memoir, has helped me funnel it outwards.

At fourteen you don't need sickness or death for tragedy.

Not all Americans are living the American dream by a long shot. Many can't even imagine it.

Then there are Americans uneasy, troubled and bewildered by the dizzying pace of change.

It kind of makes you long for the good old wholesome days of the Clinton administration.
