"And I grew up on a steady diet of science fiction, especially apocalyptic and postapocalyptic fiction." ― Justin Cronin Topic(s): Diet More From Justin Cronin "I was very much a child of the Cold War." "I’ve never written a movie, I’m not in the movie business. I go out to L.A. and I’m like everyone else wandering around in a daze hoping I see movie stars. I write the novels that the movies are based on, and that feels like enough of a job for me." "My theory of characterization is basically this: Put some dirt on a hero, and put some sunshine on the villain, one brush stroke of beauty on the villain."

I never starve myself: I grab a healthy snack."― Vanessa Hudgens "In L.A., I get a meal delivery service called Diet Designs. I like a nice butter lettuce salad with some avocado, fresh grapefruit, shredded chicken breast and raw almond slices with a sesame vinaigrette dressing. I also love juicing and am kind of obsessed with it."― Fergie
