So you don't have time for concealer, you have time for powder for when you start crying later about how some boy doesn't like you.

You are constantly changing & evolving through your experiences, how you interpret your experiences, and how you choose to do things in the future based on those experiences.

The single greatest gift you could ever give the world is to be exactly who you are.

Don't ever, ever, ever give up, because you're here for a reason, even if it's just to laugh at cats on the internet.

You are the most rare & majestic you there ever was and ever will be.

Make your face not look like your face by piling on like the heaviest makeup you can find and do it with some kind of brush that won't judge you.

In order to find out who you are, you will, at some point, have to feel really isolated, left out, different.

You become yourself, every single day of your life, through your choices and how you think.

There’s no cure for ugly, but you can make yourself into a human optical illusion.

One of the benefits of being you is: You know that the people who love you, love you for you. They don't love you for who they think you are or who you're pretending to be.

As weird and awful and terrible as it may seem to be yourself sometimes, it will always reward you.

Memory is the diary we all carry about with us.

He that is not in the war is not out of danger.

I prize the privilege of being alone.

To create a character who really interests you, try combining aspects of your favourite fictional character with a real person.

I know if I wasn't making music and acting, I would be involved in the performing arts world in some way. I would be either writing and making music for other artists or producing movies.

I think we have to take a look at corporate law. We have to take a look at the incentives that we can perhaps use to encourage more longer term.

Nothing easier than to confuse busyness with goodness.

I was once in a long relationship with a man who ran a vintage clothes store but had been a chef, so I'd come home each night to a different three-course meal. I was quite fat, but so happy.

I am left alone on the surface of a turning planet.

I write about kids growing up, I write a lot about schools and parents, and all of my experiences with those things have been suburban experiences.
