Time and opportunity are in no man's sleeve.

I was lucky enough to be given books that weren't top sellers; books that were kind of under the radar.

My mom put me in dance classes when I was 5 years old.

I had these kind of unrealistic expectations that were fueled by romantic comedies, and it has both helped me and hurt me in many ways. It helped me because, in general, they've made me hopeful. I just figure things will eventually work out for me. But nobody is like any Tom Hanks character. Nobody is Hugh Grant. No one is Meg Ryan!
