Right now Quote by Mischa Barton
“Of course you want to be strong. You want to be, like, 'Oh I don't give a fuckk what they say about me. I don't care if they're saying that I look a bit pudgy right now or that I'm too skinny.' What is going to be perfect for these people? You have to come to the conclusion that there is no perfect. When are they actually going to be, like, 'Right, so she's figured it out?' Never.”
