"When I spoke about my mental illness publicly, I won great acclaim. I waited my entire life to get an award for something, anything (OK, fine, not acting, but what about a tiny little award for writing? Nope), I now get awards for being mentally ill."

"I weighed about 105lb at the time but carried about 50 of those in my face... So you know what a good idea would be? Give me a hairstyle that further widens my already wide face."
