It's also show business. It's not show fun friends.

I think there's more pressure to stand out in a way that is measurable externally. The fame culture is definitely way worse and weirder than it was when we were in high school.

All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100!

Texting is not flirting, if you don't care about me enough to say the words than that's not love, I don't like it!

I am here to tell you there's nothing in people knowing you. There's actually a loss in that! Really, the reward in life is genuinely the day of work you have. It's not the name you're making for yourself or the clicks and likes - it's such an illusion.

Anyone can smile on their best day. I like to meet a man who can smile on his WORST.

I must work harder to achieve my goal of not seeking approval from those whose approval I'm not even sure is important to me.

While I very much wanted to be in a relationship, I didn't want to be in the wrong one.

Some people think my father was a spy, because of working for that government agency in Vietnam, but he can't find his car keys, much less keep a national secret.

We're all working hard, but so far away from what we actually want to be doing. We're all peering in at the window of a party we aren't invited to yet, a party we wouldn't know how to dress for, or what kind of conversation to make, even if we came as someone's guest.

The thing I don't like on television is when somebody does something that makes absolutely no sense just for the shock of it.
