“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. Nobody’s watching. Nobody’s judging. Nobody’s weighing in. No casting directors or agents or managers or directors or Mom. Just me and the page. Writing is the opposite of performing to me. Performing feels inherently fake. Writing feels inherently real.”
― Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

“I’m tired of people approaching me like they own me. Like I owe them something. I didn’t choose this life. Mom did.”
― Jennette McCurdy, I'm Glad My Mom Died

“I once thought the greatest sin of war was violence. It isn’t. The greatest sin is it requires good men to become practical.”

“When reason fails, the devil helps!”
