I think it'd be great to own a fun concept store with my friends and just sell books and records.

If you are intimidated by the artists who came before you, understand you too have a place, right next to them.

I've never really felt like a journalist. I've felt like a writer and a diarist. I have made myself vulnerable in my writing, and I think that vulnerability makes people strong. My favorite performances or works of art are always people showing that side of themselves.

Oh God, I'm awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.

I try to make everything creative because it's stimulating. There is this great Stanley Kubrick quote somewhere about how life is sort of bad and how creating is important because it lets a little light in.

One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.

I did community theater and kids programs at professional theaters and plays at school and voice lessons for seven years. I stopped because it was so time-consuming. But then I realized that I had access to this world where I could go on auditions. And there wasn't too much of an identity crisis when I started acting professionally because I had been acting longer than I had been writing. It didn't feel new.
