I'm really thankful for every experience I've had, even the ones that were puzzling or disorienting, because they taught me so much.

You don’t need to be a completely complete human right now … That’s what makes you human.

I think that everybody wants to be heard, and the easiest way to be the loudest is to be the hater.

For future reference: do not underestimate the seductive power of math.

I sometimes like the pictures photographers take of me.
