"Drawing is like a diary to me, a way of expressing my thoughts and feelings visually."

"With a library you are free, not confined by temporary political climates. It is the most democratic of institutions because no one—but no one at all—can tell you what to read and when and how."

即使世界给我带来痛苦，我也要以歌声回应。

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. But, I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.

The key to performance is elegance, not battalions of special cases.

"Writing is an act of resistance, a way to reclaim our narratives from the margins."

我们读书是为了发现自己是谁。

The more you love, the more you can love—and the more intensely you love.
