I was offered a lot of reality shows in the past. I continue to be offered things like ‘The Surreal Life.’ I did one in 2002, right after the attacks on the World Train Center. It was called ‘Celebrity Bootcamp.’ It sounded exciting and cool when they presented it. When you get down to it, it was corny and cheesy.
I get star-struck anytime I meet performers that I grew up watching and appreciating.

My first book is really comparable to what I do now, where it’s pretty surreal and strange at moments, but that being my first book – I wrote that when I was 22; it came out when I was 24 – and it was just really overwritten. I just didn’t trust myself as a writer to say something once.

What is this some weird club that we’re in?’

It’s really strange being in, like, Addison,Texas, and having people come up to me at a Nordstrom’s or a gas station. It’s really, really surreal.

I know that when this is over in a month or two and whenever ‘Twilight’s no longer relevant, that doesn’t live on for me. It’s because of this. It’s not very often that this happens for people.
