In the family, I was the child whom the parents put on the table and watched how she danced, saying, “Oh, our child is over-talented.” In my room, I rehearsed emotions in front of the mirror all the time: I’m angry, I’m crying, I’m worried, I want to sleep.
The old version of me, as well as my characters in Night Owls, The Divergent Series: Insurgent and Maze Runner are nothing but open wound. They are like angry Pit Bulls that bark at people and bite, but if they meet a person who makes a little effort to understand them, they turn into loyal pets.
