" People are so consumed by how you’re supposed to behave. I never want to be a person who can’t tell a joke or wear roller skates in the house. I want to climb trees until I’m a thousand, and I don’t believe in acting your age. I believe in being yourself. People strip all that joy away from you—piece by piece—and then you forget who you really are. "
