“Through writing, I feel power for maybe the first time in my life. I don’t have to say somebody else’s words. I can write my own. I can be myself for once. I like the privacy of it.

Performing feels inherently fake. Writing feels inherently real.”
― Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

“I'm so unimpressed by people. Even irritated by them. At times even disgusted by them.”
― Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

“I don't know the world, I don't even know myself. I'm forever daydreaming and often can't tell dreams from reality.”
― Vítězslav Nezval, Valerie and Her Week of Wonders
