I have tons of jewelry. I like to wear a lot of it

Honestly, I am not trying to discourage anyone from becoming an actress, but if you want to become one be prepared to face everything that comes - along with it

I think any time you have too much education in one certain field, that can sometimes play against you

I think at the end of the day this movie is respecting what we as women go through as we grow up. The experiences, what we deal with, other women, things about images, things that we deal with as women. This movie addresses that in a very appropriate and sincere way.

Feminism? The word itself means exactly the same thing to me as the word God does - it's a spirituality that is deeply personal, deeply subjective, and deeply no one else's business. You can identify the word however you want, it's just the non-exploration of it that is unacceptable to me.

I think we, especially in American culture, are so afraid to talk about death. And I'm not talking about literal death. I'm talking about shedding skin. I'm talking about rebirth, ultimately, and how we continue to change as human beings and continue to grow. There's that great Henry Miller quote, All growth is a leap in the dark.

And a lot of times in slam poetry I feel like people are so worried about the performance that the words might not be as strong.
Amber Tamblyn
I think it's hard to be taken seriously as a poet, period.
Amber Tamblyn
I remember when I first started in the business, I lost a lot of friends. Some were jealous, some were annoyed at the fact that I was an actress.
Amber Tamblyn
For most women, whether you're an actress or whatever you do, there is this pressure in society and within the world to look a certain way, dress a certain way, act a certain way, say certain things, and be this idea as opposed to being a person.
Amber Tamblyn
I think I relate to all the characters in one way or another. I'm a chameleon like that
Amber Tamblyn
People in real life cuss God out when they're angry. That's all real.
Amber Tamblyn
Because the role-model pressure becomes so insane, the personal and private takes a backseat to whatever it takes to maintain that fame and to maintain that lifestyle, and before you know it you're not a human being anymore.
Amber Tamblyn
My parents cultured me a lot and they introduced me to a lot of artists, a lot of their friends.
