I'm sort of the bossiest sister.

When I was in college I was accused of being a goody two-shoes. But every goody two-shoes has a bad side.

People ask me how I stay thin, and I'm like, 'When you go to the grocery store, buy more bananas than cookies.'

I am not afraid of much. I kill all the spiders in my house, and I'm planning to go skydiving. I am into girl power, and I'm very self-sufficient.

I am never embarrassed by something that makes people laugh.

I'm always reaching to find something that will challenge me and make me do my best.

If you are a worrywart you can't be a ninja. You can't rise up and fight when the weight of the world is pressing you down. Your family needs you to be sane and not bogged down in fear.

Avoiding life, avoiding making any concrete plans for your life--that's just one way you're pretending you can keep bad things from happening to you again.

Take sides! Always take sides! You will sometimes be wrong - but the man who refuses to take sides must always be wrong.

You have ruthlessness in your bones and ice in your heart, Clarissa. Don't tell me any differently.

You've got to bend with the wind or you're broken.

Sisters are the true friends who ask how you are, and then wait to hear the answer.

I'm a little nervous about public funding. It's better than what we got now.
