Wow. I'm honored and humbled and excited to announce my memoir, HOLLYWOOD PARK, debuted on the New York Times bestsellers list.
I just want to say, you spend your whole life repeating other's ideas until one day you realize you have your own story to tell. Thank you. Truly.

I haven't talked about this much on Twitter bc, I don't know, it feels like social media isn't the best way to get personal stories across and I'd rather just be a writer and meet you on the windswept plain of page 200 or something. I spent 3 years in this room writing this book.

"We were never young. We were just too afraid of ourselves. No one told us who we were or what we were or where all our parents went."
