Hate me for who I am, I don't care. At least I'm not pretending to be someone I'm not.

One of the greatest struggles of becoming an adult is figuring out what you want to do and what makes you happy. The courageous thing is to stick with it and see it through and see if you were correct.

Some people aren't comfortable with being comfortable. Some people really want to be pushed and find people that they can pull something out of you that you didn't know you had, and you can scare yourself.

You can make a movie that's more focused on the jokes, but Young Adult was not that kind of movie.

I went through an experience that taught me that as soon as you think that you know how your life is going to be, something in the universe will make you realize that you really are not that in control of it.

If you respect yourself and you love yourself, that's the only way anybody else is going to.

I'm also human so I have days when I look in the mirror and go, "All right . . . Things are definitely changing." I can see that.
