I didn't grow up thinking I was pretty; there was always a prettier girl than me. So I learned to be smart and tried to be funny and develop the inside of me, because I felt like that's what I had.

I think generalizations of any sort are dangerous. I'll say, if that is the case - right now it's an American issue.

I definitely feel like I'm at that point where it's nice to not have to sit at home and wait to be invited to the party, but to be creating work for yourself.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

Unless some misfortune has made it impossible, everyone can have good posture.

We define ourselves as intelligent. That's odd, because we're doing the definition - We're creating our own definition and saying, 'We are intelligent!'
