I loved to read, but I always thought that the dream was too far away. The person who had written the book was a god, it wasn't a person.

Going to the library was the one place we got to go without asking for permission. And they let us choose what we wanted to read. It was a feeling of having a book be mine entirely.

My dad wanted me to go down a more academic route. He is very much about sticking to the rule book and sticking to the blueprint of a successful career.

Oh yeah, 100%, I've been an open book. Even my whole career, I've kind of been like an open book.

I'm about to read Scott Turow's 'Innocent.' I've been hungry for this book since he first told me it was in the works. I'm a serious Turow fan.
