I'm really close to my family. As I get older, it's like they're the only people I really talk to.

I want to push myself to be brave and out of my comfort zone, but I guess I stay in my comfort zone knowing I have my family close by.

I lived in a small city on the Mississippi River across from Iowa, so I didn't have a country upbringing, but in high school we would go drink kegs in cornfields.

I was toying with the idea of ambivalence a lot. It's something I work on, not being so invested in outcomes and being more engaged in the process of my life.

Iowans are super talkative, like me. I'm very talkative. I'm very curious about strangers.

Sometimes people think, "You don't get to have it all, you don't get to be happy, life's a struggle," but what if it's not?

Whether I'm a hero or a zero doesn't really matter. It's all perception.
