More quotes by Desiree Akhavan
Don't wait for someone to enable you to make something.
Desiree Akhavan
Sometimes somebody has an amazing house party and you meet great people and you dance - I've had incredible experiences. But they have been so much fewer than the awful experiences where you're just standing around like, Why did I come here? We're all just putting on a show for each other and I might as well be in a museum.
Desiree Akhavan
I think I'm incredibly self-aware to a fault.
Desiree Akhavan
Perhaps one day I will be fortunate enough to be upset over how I misunderstood I am. A girl can dream.
