Women are complicated. Not because women are crazy, but because people are crazy, and women happen to be people.
I think that everybody wants to be heard, and the easiest way to be the loudest is to be the hater.
Some of what makes growing up hard for famous kids is that they don’t have room to do immature stuff. I was really happy that I could go to school and hang out behind the alley and be somewhat irresponsible.
One thing that I always liked about fashion was that it was tied in with music and art and film.
The best cure for procrastination is to have so much on your plate that procrastination is no longer an option.
I do find working with people in the entertainment industry hard. It can cause anxiety and depression.
I try not to do anything I don’t like, so I stay motivated pretty easily.
Just really be passionate and stick to your creative vision. Because it’s competitive, and there are so many mind games and so many things that could get in the way. But success is the best revenge, so build yourself up rather than knock others down.
I try to be very honest in my writing. It’s amazing, though, to think that people are responding to what we do, but it’s okay if they’re responding in a positive way too, because I think just creating anything at all to put out there is a gift.
I think it’d be great to own a fun concept store with my friends and just sell books and records.
I think it was my mom’s attitude about art and being part of the narcissistic digital generation or whatever that made me think anyone would care what I had to say about anything!
Oh God, I’m awful at sports. In gym I just try and avoid getting hit in the face.
I’m not obsessively a follower of fashion in the way I used to be. But I still have all those magazines I bought at the time because I bought ones that felt a little timeless, more like books.
We all have the people we follow on Tumblr whose opinions or taste we respect. And I think because you see so much more variety of opinions and everything on the internet, it’s less decided that something is good or bad. It’s more like we all just sort of like what we like.
I feel lucky in that I don’t really have to go to college to study something job-specific. I just want to go to learn about what is interesting to me and learn about the classes that you don’t really get to take in high school because you have to take the basics.
It brings me no joy and not enough comfort to dwell too much on things I’ve said or written or made or worn in the past.
Meaning lies in the magic of the coincidence that you should come across work at just the right time.
I’m not exactly in a position where I get to be super-picky about the roles I get. But I would also never want to be a part of something that I think is poor in taste or doesn’t align with what I believe in.
There’s danger in glorifying negative emotions as fuel for art.
The idea that feeling confident and feeling misunderstood are mutually exclusive really bugs me.
I’ve never really felt like a journalist. I’ve felt like a writer and a diarist. I have made myself vulnerable in my writing, and I think that vulnerability makes people strong. My favorite performances or works of art are always people showing that side of themselves.
