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 have a problem with people saying feminine means anti-feminist, and I think it's counter-productive to immediately associate anything "girly" with vanity or stupidity. I also think it takes away from girls' agency to say that girls who are interested in that kind of thing only are because they don't know what's good for them.

Meaning lies in the magic of the coincidence that you should come across work at just the right time.

There's danger in glorifying negative emotions as fuel for art.

My only job has been to say that you have to, try different things and let yourself become a different person, have experiences.

I think it was my mom's attitude about art and being part of the narcissistic digital generation or whatever that made me think anyone would care what I had to say about anything!
