Sometimes the things that come out of my mouth are mortifying.
I have a television, but it's not connected to anything. I watch everything on my computer.
Beauty was never really my trip. Maybe those roles are attracted to me?
I adore Eddie Kaye Thomas and Jason Biggs. Eddie was the only one who called me when they were doing 'American Reunion' and told me, 'You need to do this.'
I often think my boyfriend is going to leave me just from seeing how I talk to the dog. But you know, when you are talking to your dog, you are accessing this softer side of you. Everything else melts away.
My car is always black. I really struggle with red cars. I don't want to attract too much cop attention.
The person sending ironic text messages has no idea that their voice does not sound so great in text. There's no dry sense of humor in a text. It comes off as a little bit shitty.
Existence itself is disconcerting and disorienting.
The thing about curly hair is that it's a toss-up. Some days you can let it air dry and it's better than a hair-do, but some days you just look like a sloppy person. I'm really resistant to a trim. I only do it when it gets hard to brush out in the shower, then I'll submit, begrudgingly.
I'm a text artist. It's an unsung art form because it's so ahead of its time.
I have a lot of friends who are trying to clean up their act, or that are still making trouble for themselves, so I'm definitely well-versed on what goes on in the mind and the heart of a person who self-destructs as their coping mechanism, and also what they're like when you take their preferred substance away.
In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.
I have a deep compassion for the idea that it's okay to be myself. The idea that anything 'other' is bad and wrong and broken is so wildly off base.
I just never get into trouble. It's not my thing.
