When I read about myself and how writers have focused on negative stuff, it hurts my feelings.

Music is much more of a multimedia sort of thing than I expected.

There are a million things out there every single day that trigger me - songs, smells, even the season that we're in, fall. Something about the air.

It's so easy to hate something. It's harder to genuinely appreciate something.

I am super-interested in fashion. I love being a person whose clothes get discussed. That makes it more interesting for me.

The more you do speak from the heart, rather than thumping the agenda, people will listen or relate or open themselves up more.

Grace is when you should be totally punished but are blessed for no reason.

I am going to keep my mind (well, what's left of it) occupied by doing (and I never thought the day would come when I would say this) my homework.

All I want to do is yoga and hike, and smoke weed. It's funny.

I think I've always been a follow-the-leader with my career, or maybe waiting for things to happen. Now I'm like, I'm OK-I know the direction, whoever's on board can go with me.
