| I spent most of my life locked in my bedroom, miserable about my raging acne. | | 101| I had a friend whose family had dinner together. The mother would tuck you in at night and make breakfast in the morning. They even had a spare bike for a friend. It just seemed so amazing to me. | Amazing, Morning | 102| If there's anything more mortifying than being famous at 14, it's being washed up right after. | Famous | 103| It occurred to me, when I was old enough to make rules of my own, that they should be fair and simple. | | 104| I peaked early. I was told I'd missed my boat. | | 105| My Dad was so open creatively that I was off in search of black turtleneck bathing suits with long sleeves. | Dad | 106| Every job I've ever gotten has been an accident. All the jobs I actually go after, I don't get. | | 107| Gag me with a spoon! | | 108| How strange, when your father's wearing women's clothes and platform shoes, that a pair of loafers looks incredible. | | 109| I didn't have any concept of age or authority. I remember realising, Oh, the world has rules and we don't. | | 110| I don't want to lose my name because that's how I know myself. There is a legacy here. | | 111| I grew up with too much freedom. You can't define yourself. | | 112| I have a tree man coming to trim the jacaranda in my front garden. | | 113| I made enough money to buy a house. That's crazy, but fame proved ephemeral. | | 114| I should just drive around this city and take photos of all the buildings I've been humiliated in. | | 115| I think I have a dark view of the world. I have to make everything funny, otherwise it all seems so sad. | Sad | 116| My mother tells this story that when I first went to school, I thought I was going to help the teachers. I didn't realise I was going to get educated. | | 117| Not many people know what their parents sound like having sex. It was noisy. | | 118| Your own experience keeps taking you towards something. My book adds the hope that it's a better something. | | 119| I like to think of myself as a New Yorker, which is pathetic. | | 120| I would think: Stay close to the implants! They must know something because they keep getting asked backstage! | | 121| I'm totally convinced I can write the perfect pop song. | | 122| I've got a new relationship and I'm trapped in this old life. | | 123| My mother did literally hitchhike barefoot to the country store. | | 124| The idea of licking stamps seemed great fun for me. | | 125| We had two rules growing up in my house: If you're going to take a shower, do it with whomever you're dating so you don't waste water; and if you buy one for yourself, buy six, because everybody's going to want one. | Dating | 126 | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
