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.

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

The people accusing me of being productive don't know how hard it is for me to just bend my elbow sometimes.

I think that it's very important to be with someone who makes you feel like the best version of yourself. In some sense, your partner is a mirror, and you have to like what they're reflecting back at you.

Positive, healthy, loving relationships in your twenties... I don't know if anyone would disagree with it: I think they're the exception, not the norm. People are either playing house really aggressively because they're scared of what an uncertain time it is, or they're avoiding commitment altogether.

I love flawed female characters, duking it out.

I'm not jealous in traditional ways - of boyfriends or babies or bank accounts - but I do covet other women's styles of being.
