I try to be authentic - but at the same time I don't really want people prying into my personal life.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am really into hair. I'm a real girly girl and love doing my hair and experimenting with different styles.

Classic Christmas cookies are really time-consuming. Instead, make a bar you can bake in a pan and just cut up, like a brownie or a blondie or a shortbread, which still has that Christmas vibe.

My biggest complaint with tights is that they do not accommodate skinny-ankled people like myself.

I like to play the ukulele, but I'm not, like, awesome at it. I mostly play the piano and the guitar.

Nothing's better than a picnic.

Always the aim for me is making people feel like they are not alone. That's just the greatest feeling.

A lot of people work out to be skinny. That's so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.

I remember having this friend in school who said she didn't like the Beach Boys. And in that moment I knew we couldn't be friends anymore.

It's never too late for a coffee. After all it's morning somewhere in the world.

After staring at origami directions long enough, you sort of become one with them and start understanding them from the inside.

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend.

We must not fall asleep in the present because the now moment is the only reality we truly have.

...do you think God made the world to amuse himself because he was bored? Because if so he would have to be mean.

The low suffer most the blow of the law

I write seven days a week, starting at 4 o'clock in the morning, including Christmas.

I'm convinced that we can shape a different future for this country as it relates to mental health and as it relates to suicide.

If I work toward an end, meantime I am confined to a process.

The world is unkind to the shoeless and frolicsome.

I think it's appropriate that we simplify, clarify and strengthen, so instead of this nebulousness, we have clarity and authority invested in teachers once more.

Sanity is very rare; every man almost and every woman has a dash of madness.
