"I think that if I ever have kids, and they are upset, I won't tell them that people are starving in China or anything like that because it wouldn't change the fact that they were upset. And even if somebody else has it much worse, that doesn't really change the fact that you have what you have."

"There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons."

"But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things."

"I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am."

"He's a wallflower. You see things. You keep quiet about them. And you understand."
