Being famous is wicked. But it's better to be normal.

As a famous person you think how you're gonna end it get away and have a normal life.

Well I would say that we're regular people first of all and we're normal and it's obvious by some of the things that have happened just because our name is famous we're not immune to tragedy.

I seek no longer to be a 'famous' person and instead I wish to live a 'normal' life.

It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

But you know we have a very normal family. We've had our ups and downs. You know we've had our issues but we've had great cause for celebration.

I'd be a liar if I said I had a normal family.

What I want to do is tell stories about normal people in the American suburbs. I don't write the book where it's a conspiracy reaching the prime minister I don't write the book with the big serial killer who lops off heads. My setting is a very placid pool of suburbia family life. And within that I can make pretty big splashes.

I have a really really really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.

Except for naval and air exercises our military should be stationed on American soil where service men and women can lead normal lives in close proximity to family and friends.
