「Quotes」

「Aren't you being overly dramatic? → Normally I would take that as a compliment, but no.」

「I don't need love. Or sex or physical attention. I'm perfectly happy with things the way they are.」

「I stand before you. And I'm stripped of all my usual bells and whistles. Just a clean-scrubbed face. To show you that... to show you that I'm... I'm not so different from you, despite your protestations, despite mine. You can call me a freak. Okay. I am what I am. You're all freaks too, I mean... Look at you. Isn't that what being a teenager is all about? I think that we're all pretty worried that we're not gonna fit in. That if people found out the real us they would reject us they would recoil in horror. That they'd all hate us. And we all carry around some kind of secret shame. We've each got a flag to fly. Just some of us are flying them on the inside. So I am asking you to look inside that secret place where your freak flag flies and raise it up... loud and proud. Look, I know I have not been here for very long, but I am asking for a tradition to take place now. A tradition of inclusion, of acceptance, of tolerance. Love who you're gonna love. Follow whatever path it is that makes you be the person that you are. I've got one thing to ask tonight when you cast your ballot. Vote for me. You're voting for the freak in all of us. You're voting for the freak that stands before you, but you're voting for the freak in each and every one of you.」

「I lost. → Are you kidding me? That was the biggest win I've ever seen.」

「I realized that I found something more important than pleasing my dad. More important than football. Me. I never would have discovered that without you. I'm so sorry I stopped being your friend.」
