Say Everything

Like Ione Skye herself, Say Everything leads with her wonderful heart. There is a timeless authenticity about what she’s written. Deeply personal, riveting, and funny, Ione has created an emotional diary that feels like a song you never want to end. As an actor and as a writer, her honesty is unforgettable.” —CAMERON CROWE

“Ione Skye’s unflinching memoir embodies the grit of Eve Babitz mixed with the enchanting guilelessness of Alice navigating her way through the most illogical wonderlands of them all: Hollywood. Ione tells her story of grappling with primal abandonment, love and heartbreak with compassionate candor and a true visual artist’s recall of detail. As the title states, she really does say everything and left me wanting even more.” —MOLLY RINGWALD

“Ione grew up in Hollywood’s fast lane, where she crashed and burned more than once in pursuit of love, but lived to write a coming-of-age tale with heartbreaking honesty and devilish humor. Say Everything also perfectly captures the excitement of making movies and music in the nineties, which was a delight to revisit.” —GRIFFIN DUNNE

“Always charming and witty, Ione was in the center of my nineties LA.” —SOFIA COPPOLA

“Ione Skye has always been a bit of a mystery; beautiful, elegant, and artistically accomplished in various realms of the arts. It was a pleasure to read her engaging book.” —CRISPIN GLOVER

“Ione Skye captivated an entire generation as a new kind of ingenue—idiosyncratic, almost vulpine, and a fascinating fixture of LA lure. But this book proves that even though she was on everyone’s screen (and wall) she had more to say than anyone else’s work could contain. And that the most fascinating, funny and ferocious version of events was her own.” —LENA DUNHAM

Ione Skye made her film debut opposite Keanu Reeves in River’s Edge, followed by her iconic role as Diane Court in Say Anything.

A mother of two daughters, she lives in Los Angeles with her collaborator and husband, the musician Ben Lee.
