“I'm really good at staying home all day in my pajamas because I had a [dad] who did that.”

“I'm a grounded person. I don't need security when I'm home as they know who I am. I live with my mum and tour with my dad… I'm just a regular 16-year-old kid. I make good grilled cheese and I like girls.”

“I wanted to kind of make sure that people know that I'm here to stay, because this is home, and I am born here — I'm not a foreigner in that sense.”

“I had a lot of dates, but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.”

“I've had a very sheltered life. What can happen to you if you stay home writing all day?”

“I don't think we have a future. I know we do. I want to marry you and have kids and be a stay-at-home writer dad while you take Boston journalism by storm. I want to wake up beside you every day for the rest of my life.”

“My dad had limitations. That's what my good-hearted mom always told us. He had limitations, but he meant no harm. It was kind of her to say, but he did do harm.”

“To be able to come out of that mess as I did is special. To be able to improve my relations with my dad is special. I'm happy with the way my life's going, the way I'm growing up as a person. Skating has changed me. I've had a lot of chances, and this is my time to shine.”

“One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas I'll never know.”

“I was panicked a bit because I really don’t know about … the Cuban Missile Crisis. It had to do with Cuba and missiles, I'm pretty sure. I came home and I asked my husband, I said, 'Wasn't that like the Bay of Pigs thing?”
