Diligent as one must be in learning one must be as diligent in forgetting otherwise the process is one of pedantry not culture.

Even though Raster Blaster was only a video game I was learning about designing stuff. I got good at drawing.

The best part of learning any profession when you're really going through those huge stretching escalated times of learning and energy is when you want to do it so much.

You have to learn and keep learning.

Hopefully with each thing that you do you're learning something you're growing and you're pushing yourself a little harder in some way or another. So I think you'd be in real trouble if each new thing that you create didn't feel like 'Oh wow. I feel like I'm doing something a little different this time.'

I spend so much time with the brightest and most talented and well-rounded people. I've had the privilege of having long and very intellectual conversations with people and sometimes I just sit there and listen. It's like a better version of a class. Even though I'm not sitting at a desk and in school I'm still learning all the time.

You go on these Internet blogs and people say the meanest things. I'm a normal person. Just because I'm in the spotlight doesn't mean I'm God's gift to the world. I'm learning and making mistakes just like every other 17-year-old girl out there.

A basic rule of life for reporters is that you should spend your time talking with and learning about people who are not sending you press releases rather than those who are.

I've always had better luck learning things on my own. And I really love the challenge of doing it yourself and kind of being alone against the system.
