QUOTES:

I went to a Catholic school, so of course we had to wear uniforms. My only form of expression was in shoes and the style of my hair.
My family moved from California to New Jersey in the beginning of my sophomore year of high school. I will never forget the first day in a new school, walking into the cafeteria during lunch and not knowing a single soul. I didn’t feel confident enough to share a seat.
I inherited them, so I got it like that. But I hear you can actually get dimples for a certain price if you really want them. I was getting my nails done once, and this lady asked me, ‘Are those real? In my country, they pay a lot of money for those.’ And I was like, ‘Really?’ I think she was from Malaysia.
I still get the jitters every time I start a new job! I love it – makes you feel alive.
When I first moved to Los Angeles, I had a really bad run. I would sleep in my car during the day outside the Disney building in Burbank, and that’s where I got my first job, which is really weird. I liked to stay around the studios and kind of get the good vibes going.

Happy Birthday: Felicia Day

QUOTES:

Every single job is a challenge. You are walking into a new set, a new character, creating a world and trying to get comfortable to do your best work.

I feel like maybe I’m part of that generation that became more of a gamer than a video consumer. It’s always been something I’ve done with my spare time. If I had three hours on a Friday night, I’m not out partying. I’m probably playing video games.

Whether you’re a Twitter follower, a YouTube subscriber or a Facebook friend, natural social instinct is to collect people and to not kind of see them later. But unfortunately, with social media, you collect them and they’re in your life, whether you really want them or not.

There is definitely a way in which women are raised to be less proactive, less business-oriented, and less willing to jump into creative no man’s land. I think media has more of an influence on how we perceive gender identity than anything else.

Social media is an amazing tool, but it’s really the face-to-face interaction that makes a long-term impact.
