Like, in high school, I was a good student and got straight As. It was very strict and you couldn't do well there unless you studied very hard, but every time there was any trouble, I was the first person they would be talking to.

And it seemed hard to believe that these people who were so close to me couldn’t see how desperate I was, or if they could they didn’t care enough to do anything about it, or if they cared enough to do anything about it they didn’t believe there was anything they could do, not knowing—or not wanting to know—that their belief might have been the thing that made the difference.

In life, single women are the most vulnerable adults. In movies, they are given imaginary power.

Ritalin abuse is a big issue in the US.

Belief is a good thing in principle, but an annoying thing in human beings.

That's what it's like in my head all the time, constant snow, constant weather patterns of all sorts - blizzards, cyclones.

Oh, Ma, you're looking at all the trees, and I'm not even in the forest.
