Krysten Ritter

We all know what it feels like to be an outcast or a loner or to fall between the cracks. To be the target of gossip or people talking about you, or girls are ganging up on you. One minute, they’re your best friend; the next, they call you on three-way.

I’m not always the first person to run out and see something I’m in. I don’t know; for me, that’s not why I did it. I did it because I wanted to act. I don’t really think about the end result. I don’t feel like I have to see it – for me, it already happened.

I am sarcastic and dry, but I also have a pretty huge zest for life.

On the farm, I had chores. I had a calf. We had a herd of cattle in the pasture. We’d go and get me a calf at a cow auction with Amish people, which I would raise. I gave it a bottle every day, in this cute little coop, like a giant dog coop almost. I’ve always been a big animal person.

I don’t fight for much, but when I fight for something, it’s usually because I think I’m going to be right.

Every day, you try something new. So I just try to keep myself healthy physically and nutritionally.

What is really important for a woman, you know, even more than being beautiful or intelligent, is to be entertaining.

You feel quite distant by playing at huge stadiums year after year, where you only can see a great darkness in front of you

Kourtney has a new therapist and a new bf and I don’t really know which one is this problem

I don’t really like to go out very much. I’m not scandalous. I’m not, like, in this to be famous. I also find it so embarrassing when you read about people and it’s like they were so trashed at Skybar and stumbling around. I don’t want to be that person. That’s just so embarrassing to have that written about you.

I really admire stand-up, and I think I would have loved to learn how to do it. I think it’s terrifying and thrilling. A really cool thing to do. It’s a dying art, in a way.

I knew I had to make a sacrifice to do what I’ve always wanted to do.

You shouldn’t throw stones if you live in a glass house and if you got a glass jaw, you should watch yo mouth: cause I’ll break yo face.

I’m a sucker for those sweeping love stories. When I read the script (The Notebook), I couldn’t stop crying! I just had such a powerful, instantaneous reaction – it was written so well.

I used to sleep nude – until the earthquake.

I go by my instincts. It’s whatever I feel in the scene in the moment.

I’m the closest that hip-hop is getting to God. In some situations I’m like a ghetto Pope.

Congratulations, Congress! 77% disapproval rating! You may be about to become the English language’s most offensive C-word.

I would say my number one tip is to know that it’s okay to be in love with yourself. That’s not a bad thing. People might think it’s cocky, or arrogant, or selfish – no, that’s not what that means. Being in love with yourself is okay.

I was a little excited but mostly blorft. ‘Blorft’ is an adjective I just made up that means ‘Completely overwhelmed but proceeding as if everything is fine and reacting to the stress with the torpor of a possum.’ I have been blorft every day for the past seven years.

Music is all I know.
