No one knows what you want to do - you need to tell them.

It doesn't matter what your job is, you have privilege and it's such a privilege to use that privilege [to lift others up].

I'm a big proponent of starting before you're ready because then you don't really know what you're in for and you can't talk yourself out of it.

Worrying means you suffer twice.

[When asking for help}, the trick is to not expect them to take you from 0 to 100, expect them to take you from 70% to 80%.

To be interesting, you have to be interested.

You can love something, you can love the job and you can realize that it's not perfect for you and move on.

It's ok to do something you've never done before.

I've had three career change and I'm just past 30. And none of them were mistakes. They're all great.

I always try to be kind to people, not hurt anyone. That made me come this far. I’m still here, and people helped me because I am that way.

Say "death" out loud...we need to get over the fear and the language and have meaningful conversations while we can.

Death happens to be the biggest life transition that there is.

I'm interested in the idea that somehow we've convinced ourselves that the best way to answer questions is to think our way through them rather than to feel our way through them, to physically engage our way through them.

If you have questions about who you are, you will find out the answers to those questions in the last minute of a fight...you can't lie to yourself about who you are in the last minute of a fight.

I don't think we often honor the journey that immigrants take to America with traits that are positive, right? We tend to honor the desperation and the difficulty, but we don't often ascribe the kind of positive agency that is authentic to their experience.

At the heart of those stories [I write] is a fundamental question, Do the people who I think of as the most deeply related to me, do I fundamentally understand them and to they understand me, you know. And that is at the heart of so many stories.

It's important to rest your body and be forgiving of yourself.
