Failure instructs, failure improves. Failure shouldn't deter you.

Hollywood, it's just like high school. Whoever is pretty and popular, everyone wants to be with.

I started writing because it was about making my friends laugh, and when you're talking to your friends, you can't bullshit.

No one has it all figured out, especially not the people who are acting like they do and judging you because of it. Pretending to be something you aren't because you're trying to please a bunch of judgmental hypocrites and shitheads is not the way to be happy. Living the life you want to live is. It really is that simple.

My path to wisdom began when I stopped pretending to know things I didn't know. When I explicitly admitted to the limits of my knowledge, stopped building on ambiguity and ignorance, and instead realized that I knew nothing, not even the things I thought I knew.
