Pity is a really odd thing with abused women. You don't want anyone to think that you feel bad - even though you might.

People sometimes actually get me to think I take things too seriously and maybe I'm too earnest and it's coming across like I'm better than them.

You know what? I don't care. I'm going to do what I want to do.

I think we want to be around people that kind of push us and inspire us and maybe teach us.

I want a cheeseburger so badly, but I have to be a vampire in a few weeks.

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.

I can't do what my mother did, which is tell me every single day of my life about her labor and how long it was and how it was 36 hours of hell .
