I don't care how somebody gets their education, as long as they have one.

I was brought up in the Christian church and I studied in the teachings of Jesus. I believed in caring for others and trying to be kind. It's something I still have to work on every day.

I do use reality because I want my work to feel real, I want it to feel heartfelt. I don't want to make it up and have it sound corny or unrelatable.

Every straight man I know is a feminist. They wouldn't be my friends if they weren't.

When I was sixteen, I began to think outside the box of my small town. Not that the people in my small town are in a box - they're not! There's a brilliant college there, and I had brilliant teachers from that college. But in terms of a conservative upbringing, which I did have within my own family, I just began to question things and to think for myself.

Things are changing. They need to change more. It should not be of any note that a woman does something, because women do everything.

The line is very delicate and fine between being what one might call sane or insane, well or unwell.
