When I haven’t been working I’ve tried to travel a lot.
But it’s a journey and the sad thing is you only learn from experience, so as much as someone can tell you things, you have to go out there and make your own mistakes in order to learn.
I’m very romantic and of course I want to be in love.
When I started dating I had this kind of Romeo and Juliet, fateful romantic idea about love which was almost that you were a victim and there was a lot of pain involved and that was how it should be.
I’m a feminist, but I think that romance has been taken away a bit for my generation. I think what people connect with in novels is this idea of an overpowering, encompassing love – and it being more important and special than anything and everything else.
People don’t really understand, but having people stare, and point, and take pictures, even if it is in a positive framework, is quite isolating there’s no two ways about it. You feel a little bit, you know, freakish.
Let’s be honest, I have enough money to never have to work again.
To be honest, I’ve always had far too much freedom. I had a job when I was 10. I started living on my own when I was 17 or 18. I’ve earned my own money I’ve traveled the world. What would I rebel against?
It sounds like a cliche but I also learnt that you’re not going to fall for the right person until you really love yourself and feel good about how you are.
I’m really interested in modern history, but to fulfill a History degree at Brown you have to do modern and pre-modern.
