“I dream one day of owning a La-Z-Boy”

“What about a La-Z- Girl?”

“Sometimes I love AND hate.. but mostly love…”

“My hate has grown for a few things… A lot of my hate has grown for Trainwreck.”

“You have to watch… It Follows.”

“I found Iris Apfel…. very inspiring…”

“My grandmother is a huge part of my life… she made me hyperaware that we put seniors to the side…”

“If The Rolling Stones Tour and people buy tickets isn’t that it…?”

“Ex Machina… fantastic.”

“I’m playing air theramin…”

“I love watching dudes bond over things that aren’t demeaning to women, The Night Before was… ridiculous and lovely and sweet and vulgar, all my sweet spots are hit..”
