You don't get taken seriously by asking someone to take you seriously. You’ve got to show up and own it. If this is a man’s world, who cares? I’m still really glad to be a girl in it.

I think there are times when I can be a good thing.

The world loves to tell you how difficult things are, and the world's not exaggerating. But difficult doesn't mean impossible, and out of the bajillions of things in this universe that you can't control, what you can control is how hard you try, and if or when to pack it in.

If you’re frustrated because you’re not getting what you want, stop for a second: Have you actually flat-out asked for it? If you haven’t, stop complaining. You can’t expect the world to read your mind. You have to put it out there, and sometimes putting it out there is as simple as just saying, “Hey, can I have that?

It's definitely hard, it's hard to get into a Monday, it's much easier to work through a weekend and accomplish a lot, but I don't think that's the healthiest way to live.

Without ego I don't know how identity works, I don't know... I need to sit down and re-read some philosophy or something.

Look at the other side of things even if you know you'll never agree. It creates empathy.
