We're looking for stories that speak to us. We're looking for stories that connect us with something true. But, instead, a lot of the time we get strippers. All I'm saying is, when boys are writing the stories, the percentage of strippers is bound to go up. And real stories about real women kinda don't get written at all.

There is no tenderness without bravery.

Sometimes there is no way to hold your life together. Sometimes things just have to fall apart.

What matters most is how you respond to your heartbreaks and your disappointments and your fears. What matters most is who you become in response to them.

It's more important to be interesting, to be vivid, and to be adventurous than to sit pretty for pictures.

It's so easy to think that your strengths don't matter.

Beauty comes from tenderness.
