Love is mysterious and rad, like Steve Perry from Journey

Juno MacGuff: I don't know what kind of girl I am.

As a kid, I spent every summer bent over a stack of books, obsessively writing detailed reports on each one.

For me, stripping was an unusual kind of escape. I had nothing to escape but privilege, but I claimed asylum anyway. At twenty-four, it was my last chance to reject something and become nothing. I wanted to terrify myself. Mission accomplished.

I've been an avid consumer of young adult literature since I was one, and I think some people leave that stuff behind when they become old adults, but I never did. I was always interested in the fantasy world created in those novels.

This is for the writers. I want to thank all the writers. I especially want to thank my fellow nominees because I worship you guys and I'm learning from you every day.

The best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are.
