Oh God, I'm awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.

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.

You don’t have to be special, you just have to be kind.

Feminism was not a rulebook but a discussion, a conversation, a process...

Women are complicated...not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy, and women happen to be people.

What makes a strong female character is a character who has weaknesses, who has flaws, who is maybe not immediately likable, but eventually relatable.

Fashion intersects a lot with art and film and music, and that was appealing to me. I read a bunch of fashion blogs and wanted to be part of the community.

Feminism to me means fighting. It's a very nuanced, complex thing, but at the very core of it I'm a feminist because I don't think being a girl limits me in any way.

One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.

I am focusing on positive thoughts – thoughts of hope, thoughts of love, thoughts of faith …

When life’s journey is wearisome, put on hope’s shoes.

We cannot do everything at once but we can do something at once.

Without sarcasm I sink into chaos.

I don't think you can talk about progress in art - movement, but not progress. You can speak of a point on a line for the purpose of locating things, but it's a horizontal line, not a vertical one.

Don't hold yourself back because you're afraid or because you've been hurt...acknowle dge your fear, accept it, and walk through it with confidence.

I feel more in touch with the world when I'm filming.

I had a really kind of yucky divorce and it was really challenging to get over that.

I can't have cats around me because they try to steal my energy.

What you have to do as a writer is . . . write day in and day out no matter what happens.
