61 " Jessica became my first enemy. Like most enemies in my life, I hoped to punish her with passive-aggressive glances and silent-but passionate!-resentment. She retaliated by forgetting I existed. Ah, the moral victory. "
― Anna Kendrick , Scrappy Little Nobody
62 " I’m not interested in pretending to be a reluctant participant because you think girls who like sex are a turnoff. If you think girls are supposed to object to sex until they find themselves incapable of resisting your magic penis, fuck you. (Unless this is a role-play fantasy between consenting adults, in which case I’ll go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and grab some props right now.) We fought "
63 " I would love it if we could limit my red carpet topics to my favorite colors, what sound a duck makes, and my thoughts on McDonald’s All-Day Breakfast—blessing or curse? "
64 " I think self-doubt is healthy. And having to fight for the thing you want doesn’t mean you deserve it any less. "
65 " I knew I was right, which is a comfortable place for me, even when I’m really pissed off. "
66 " the crazy wants out "
67 " I would describe the size and style of our vessel, but I don’t know anything about sailing, so I’m trusting you to picture a boat. "
68 " So if you see a wrinkled old bitch wearing a tattered fur and chain-smoking in an off-Broadway back alley . . . that’s just me. Starting four years from now. "
69 " I lost a Tony Award to Broadway legend Audra McDonald when I was twelve, so I’ve been a bitter bitch since before my first period. "
70 " I’ve seen you on meth?!” “I would say, for the last year, you’ve only seen me on meth.” I’m the biggest idiot on the planet. "
71 " am not going to be the person who shows off by leaning too far into the dolphin enclosure and then gets raped to death by dolphins (Google it, nerds). I’m going to be the person who tells her friends not to get too close to the dolphins, gets made fun of, and says “I told you so” at their funerals. "
72 " I happen to love rules. I love having a plan. I love a film set that's run like a well-oiled machine. I thrive in structure; I drown in chaos. I love rules and I love following them. Unless that rule is stupid. And yes, I have felt qualified, no matter my age, to make that determination. Scrupulous people don't enjoy causing trouble, but they can be defiant as hell. "
73 " I was their friend! I mean, “Mary D is a jerk”? “Amanda sucks”? Whywould I write a bunch of mean stuff about my friends?! Using such generic insults?! "
74 " And having to fight for the thing you want doesn't mean you deserve it any less. "
75 " People don’t have to do things by half measures because they aren’t getting paid for it. In fact, that’s all the more reason to throw every ounce of passion you have behind it. "
76 " The trickiest parts were the constant assurances that I was having a great time. I'm not an idiot. I knew what was happening was positive, it just got ... disorienting. I don't mind hard work - I love a challenge! - but pretending everything is wonderful when it's not makes me feel mentally ill. "
77 " I was eight years old at this point, and my mother had a brilliant plan: occasionally buy me a stupid-looking outfit, let me wear it, and I’d get it out of my system before I got to high school. "
78 " That night, I resolved to keep the crazy inside my head where it belonged. Forever. But here's the thing about crazy: It. Wants. Out. "
79 " I shouldn’t be so worried about “changing” as an adult. As an adult you get to turn to your boyfriend and say things like “I’ve always found the obligation to say ‘god bless you’ after a sneeze really arbitrary and mannered. When we’re at home, can we stop saying it?” And then you get to stop! You have all this agency! You get to decide what kind of a person you want to be! And yet, you are still the person you were at three years old. Isn’t that kind of great? I think three-year-old you would be proud. "
