Never love someone whom you think you need to mend – or who makes you feel like you should be mended. There are boys out there who look for shining girls; they will stand next to you and say quiet things in your ear that only you can hear and that will slowly drain the joy out of your heart. The books about vampires are true, baby. Drive a stake through their hearts and run away.
Self-harm - the world will come at you with knives anyway. You do not need to beat them to it.
Just proportionately, statistically, one in three women are going to have an abortion. They're not all going to feel guilty.
Feminism has had exactly the same problem that "political correctness" has had: people keep using the phrase without really knowing what it means.
Life divides into amazing enjoyable times and appalling experiences that will make future amazing anecdotes.

You think it doesn't really matter if you screw up this time around because you can just sort it all out in paradise
I never wanted to be famous. It was amusing at first, but now I hate it. I just wanted to be respected by people I respect. And I wanted to be rich. It's best to get rich, then you can do what you want.
To say that you have to carry to term and look after a child for the rest of your life is to say I force you, legally, to love someone. It's like saying, you know, you have to go and love another - you have to go - you know, you have to go marry someone. It's like an arranged marriage.
Mental health is seen as a massive drag to have to write about - worthy, dull. Something you should 'have' to read / write about.
There are some women out there who are just going to look better with a mustache: that's statistics.
