“People who follow their creative passions are fascinating but also complicated.” – pg. 26

“‘Hot girl’ has never been an identity that I’ve been fully comfortable with… And that’s not because I think I’m unattractive or anything. I just think you have to take yourself really seriously to identify as hot.” – pg. 165

“Being able to ignore the unhelpful feedback from friends is hard, but so important… I think one of the best skills anyone can have is the ability to cherry-pick the friends who have good intentions and want the best for you.” – pg. 211

“I’ll never not feel fear when I put myself out there, but that’s okay. I’ll keep doing things I have no right to do, because I don’t like wading in the shallow end. I’d rather get pushed into the deep end and then attempt to touch the bottom. That’s just how I operate.” – pg. 301

“I wish we had more words for love.” – pg. 306
