“Beauty, for me, has become about loving different faces. I feel like we are now in the most obsessive time of all, trying to look like the same doll clone. It’s weird for us all to want to look like one person. So many different men are hot and sexy and interesting. We think a big nose on a man is character, and wrinkles distinguished, and we show them in high definition on magazine covers. And with women we just photoshop them all.”
The fact that I can wake up every day and know that I am who I always wanted to be – that makes me incredibly happy. It might sound kind of cheesy, but I think it’s honestly what’s on the inside that makes you beautiful.”
“I never felt the need to be in with the crowd. I don’t mind being on the outside.”

“I used to be so concerned about someone disliking me or what people were saying about me on the Internet. It’s ridiculous to worry about that.

If some aspect of you wants everyone everyone to universally love and understand you and approve of everything you do- well that’s a sad life. You’ll bend yourself into a pretzel trying to be all those things you’re supposed to be.”
“You won’t die from humiliation on the internet. You have to get really strong and dig down deep and get really tough.”
“I would tell myself that I’m worth it. Even though my parents always told my brother and me they loved us and that we were worth it, it took me awhile to actually believe it. I had a low self-esteem as a kid, because I was a perfectionist. Once you realize that perfection doesn’t exist, it makes things easier and you can accept the faults that you have.”
“Maybe to coolest people are the ones who don’t care about being cool. Maybe I will start a new trend. Perhaps I’m so out, I’m in. Nope; that’s a lie. I have just given up trying and I am content in my failure. And besides, I can carry around a meatball sub in my pants.”
