I love having the door opened for me. Isn't that just polite? But the key is, would you then mind if I opened the door for you? The key is, chivalry should be consensual. Both parties should be feeling good about that.

Being passionate is not what makes you a girl, it's what makes you a human.

There's nothing wrong with being afraid. It's not the absence of fear, it's overcoming it. Sometimes you've got to blast through and have faith.

I never wear pigtails, I wear plaits.

If I've learned anything, it's really just to stop trying to find answers and certainties.

I remember reading this thing that Elizabeth Taylor wrote. She had her first kiss in character. On a movie set. It really struck me. I don't know how or why, but I had this sense that if I wasn't really careful, that could be me. That my first kiss could be in somebody else's clothes. And my experiences could all belong to someone else.

I'm really interested in modern history, but to fulfill a History degree at Brown you have to do modern and pre-modern.
