When in doubt, say yes.

More experience doesn’t make your decisions better.

Kids try again. Adults fail.

When you use repetition you get results that are consistent, but it also leads to status-quo.

Another thing that really keeps me happy is learning.

Getting paid to do something you do absolutely love is my definition of happiness.

How are you supposed to learn about confronting fear and danger if you don't have these experiences in your life?

Being creative is for the sake of satisfying our curiosity.

It doesn't serve us, or anyone, to pretend that money is not important. It doesn't serve activism, it doesn't serve creativity, it doesn't serve social movements like feminism.

What happens when you don't conform? What happens when you encourage teen girls to embrace their differences?
