In psychology (okay, Twilight) they teach you about the notion of imprinting, and I think it applies here. I reverse-imprinted with athleticism. Ours is the great non-love story of my life.
Best friend isn't a person, it's a tier.
I have never regretted erring on the side of withholding information.
True love is singing karaoke 'under pressure' and letting the other person sing the Freddie Mercury part.
If you're a kid who was not especially a star in your high school, I recommend going to a college in the middle of nowhere. I got all the attention I could ever have wanted.
Write your own part. It is the only way I've gotten anywhere. It is much harder work, but sometimes you have to take destiny into your own hands.
Skinny foodie, get away from me.
I'm a smart enough person to know that I don't want everyone to be cookie-cutter versions of the nine guys who wear Converse sneakers.
I would rather have someone read my diary than look at my iPod playlists.
What? I have a cold. Don’t get a look of terror on your face. The worst that could happen is that you’ll get a cold, too. You don’t have to theatrically Purell a thousand times a day and look all panicky every time I come into the room.

I guess nothing puts a damper on a one-night stand as much as your friend pointing out all the opportunities where you might have been killed.
Everyone has a moment when they discover they love Amy Poehler.
Every day, I wake up and I'm like, "Oh, I'm the star of my own show that has my name in it and I get to write it and hire actors that I've loved for such a long time!" It's amazing!
