I’ve been a little haphazard about how nude I get, and the only thing that keeps me from getting anxious about it is that I’ve had complete control over it.
I think romantic comedy, when done right, is my favorite genre. It’s just a genre that’s very human.

No one wants to see a tattoo on a stomach.
I’m not great at dating, but I need to do it to relax.
I always thought that if you had any real proximity to famous people, that your obsession with famous people, would wane is some way. Like, I wouldn’t want to deep google Matthew McConaughey’s early relationships for hours before I go to bed. And it’s just gotten worse.
People are ultimately threatened by young people taking positions of power.
There’s a certain grace to having your heart broken.
