My life is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won’t do it.

Censorship makes me really angry. I even hate it when people censor themselves.

In every challenge, there is an opportunity for growth.

Sometimes you have to step out of your comfort zone to grow.

I have a checkered past. I’ll take any eyeliner that comes my way.

Friendship is certainly the finest balm for the pangs of disappointed love.

I just like to keep working and being able to pay my bills.

Success is not just about achieving your goals but also about enjoying the process.

You have to embrace who you are and not worry about what others think.

Personally, I find good-looking men frightfully dull.

I’m shockingly terrible at action movies.

Every role I take on teaches me something new about myself.

It’s important to surround yourself with positive influences.

I have not the pleasure of understanding you.

The idea that you can’t be attractive and funny at the same time is something that I hate.

I was raised in Arizona, and I went to public school, and the extent of my knowledge of the civil-rights movement was the story of Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr. I wonder how much my generation knows.

If you’re doing what you love, it never feels like work.

Don’t be afraid to make mistakes. They’re a part of the journey.

Ah! There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.

This is life. Our bodies change. Our minds change. Our hearts change. Things are always evolving. I hope we can be supportive of each other and try to really have each other’s backs, especially when we don’t know the whole story.

Yes, you should be healthy and take care of yourself, but growing up, I’ve seen people who have horrible issues with food.

I’m always inspired by people who are unapologetically themselves.

Being a part of something you’re passionate about is one of the most rewarding experiences.

It is such a happiness when good people get together—and they always do.

I know that when you’re a teenager – sometimes when you’re an adult – what sets you apart can sometimes feel like a burden and it’s not. A lot of the time, it’s what makes you great.

Often, joking for me is a way of diffusing the awkwardness of a situation, so it’s kind of exhilarating to be a part of projects where there’s nothing funny or lighthearted.

Confidence is key. And confidence comes from within, not from external validation.

I literally have no idea what’s to come. I try to just stay in the moment.

What do we live for, if not to make the world less difficult for each other?

I really like grammar. And spelling. I was a spelling-bee kid. I’m hard-core about grammar.

I’m a huge music fan. I usually say that if I had been born with a musical inclination, it would’ve been great. The Beatles changed everything for me, and I wanted to be a journalist for ‘Rolling Stone.’ I’m a big music fan in a Cameron Crowe way, kind of in a spectator way.

Sometimes you have to just take a deep breath and enjoy the moment you’re in.

I won’t make a bucket list because I’m so afraid that I’ll die and then people will find my bucket list and be like, ‘Oh, she didn’t get to do that….’. There is stuff that I’d like to do or experience but nothing that would crush me if it didn’t happen.

Vanity working on a weak head, produces every sort of mischief.

What sets you apart can feel like a burden, but it’s not.

I think ‘Saturday Night Live’, starting in the 1970s, really gave women an outlet to be funny. A lot of those women went on to have film careers, from Kristen Wiig now to Tina Fey and Gilda Radner.

I’m a huge believer in the power of laughter. It’s such a healing force.

I do find that I’m drawn to people in my life, romantically or not, that have something to teach me. I’m drawn to people who I feel like I can learn from. I’m not really drawn to toxic people—I don’t find myself discovering that someone in my life is toxic very often. But there is some sense of being changed by each person that I think I’m drawn to.

I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control.

We’re always too skinny, or too fat. Too tall, or too short. We’re shaming each other, and we’re shaming ourselves, and it sucks.

I love improv. ‘Crazy, Stupid, Love,’ the script was really great, but the directors were open to letting you try different things. And that felt like a muscle I hadn’t exercised in a really long time.

I’ve learned to not be so hard on myself. It’s a work in progress, but it’s getting better.

My great hope for us as young women is to start being kinder to ourselves so that we can be kinder to each other. To stop shaming ourselves and other people for things we don’t know the full story on whether someone is too fat, too skinny, too short, too tall, too loud, too quiet, too anything. There’s a sense that we’re all too something, and we’re all not enough.

A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony in a moment.

What makes life valuable is that it doesn’t last forever.

When I look back, I don’t have regrets. In the moment I am really, really hard on myself, I’m definitely my own worst critic and can be my own worst enemy, and I’m trying very hard not to be that.

I think being a young woman in this industry is complicated. It’s challenging, but you have to persevere and stay true to yourself.

If you knew everyone’s story, you would love them. You can’t really hate anyone if you know everything that happened to them between their birth and now; why they became the way they became; why they have walls up or down. If you truly know someone, you’d get it.

Flaws are my favorite part of people, usually.

I do not think I ever opened a book in my life which had not something to say upon woman’s inconstancy. Songs and proverbs, all talk of woman’s fickleness. But perhaps you will say, these were all written by men.

You know how sports teach kids teamwork and how to be strong and brave and confident? Improv was my sport. I learned how to not waffle and how to hold a conversation, how to take risks and actually be excited to fail.

Life is a series of moments. And we have to make the most of each one.

I remind myself to be kind to myself and, as slightly ridiculous as it may sound, to treat myself in the same gentle way I’d want to treat a daughter of mine. It really helps.

Silly things do cease to be silly if they are done by sensible people in an impudent way.

I can’t think of any better representation of beauty than someone who is unafraid to be herself.

My favorite thing about movies is the ending, and so all my favorite movies have really great endings.

I think you have to love yourself before you can love someone else.

If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

If I feel strongly about anything, I get overwhelmed with emotion.

You’re only human. You live once and life is wonderful, so eat the damned red velvet cupcake.

Just because I don’t have a college degree doesn’t mean I am not smart!

I cannot make speeches, Emma…If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more.

It doesn’t matter what you do. It matters who you are.

The best advice I’ve ever received is to do what you love and don’t let anyone tell you you can’t do it.

Sometimes the smallest step in the right direction ends up being the biggest step of your life.

I just live my life how I live as a person. I certainly am not, like, a saint or an angel by any means. I’m not anything like that. But I live just how I live. I mean, I have a little paranoia, but that’s about it.
