The great thing about taking big chances when you're younger is you have less to lose, and you don't know as much. So you take big swings.

You aren't allowed to feel special, but no one knows the specific ways you are in pain.

I've always dreamed of growing up to be Amy Poehler.

I love saying 'yes' and I love saying 'please.' Saying 'yes' doesn't mean I don't know how to say no, and saying 'please' doesn't mean I am waiting for permission. 'Yes please' sounds powerful and concise. It's a response and a request. It is not about being a good girl; it is about being a real woman.

You have to care about how good you are and how good you feel, but not about how good people think you are or how good people think you look.

We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work, it doesn't matter. But work is third.

Dreams never wear you down.
