My boarding school emphasized languages which I was bad at, and deemphasized math and science which I was good at."

“When I was younger, when I was a teenager, the work was more satirical and funny and cartoony. And part of it was chops - if you have a more limited repertoire of stick figures and cartoon characters, they lend themselves more to humor than to tragedy.”
“Christian Louboutins are uncomfortable, but I screamed the first time I put on a Pointe Shoe.”
