I would rather spend my entire life doing nothing than have my name attached to something mediocre.

You’ve learned a new rule and it’s simple: don’t put yourself in situations you’d like to run away from. But when you run, run back to yourself, like that bunny in Runaway Bunny runs to its mother, but you are the mother and you’ll see that later and be very, very proud.

I actually didn't enjoy being a child particularly at all even though I had nice parents in a comfortable place to live. Just because I was too confused in generating too many answers for myself that just scared me more.

Women want to control other women because they've been controlled themselves. It's a cycle of control. I'm not blaming women for that, but I am saying we're part of a toxic culture that's feeding all of us the same messaging.

I've always been someone who feels better, if I see what I'm going through in a movie.

I felt like my parents were always involved with abstraction, and I wanted to do something very specific.

I would have specific books [when I was 12 or 13] that had pages that I knew had sex on them that I would go and read.
