“The absolute worst part of being depressed is the food. A person's relationship with food is one of their most important relationships. I don't think your relationship with your parents is that important. Some people never know their parents. I don't think your relationship with your friends are important. But your relationship with air-that's key. You can't break up with air. You're kind of stuck together. Only slightly less crucial is water. And then food. You can't be dropping food to hang with someone else. You need to strike up an agreement with it.”

“A person's relationship with food is one of their most important relationships.”

“They're sort of ancillary anyway, friends. I mean, they're important -- everybody knows that; the TV tells you so -- but they come and go. You lose one friend, you pick up another.”

“I eat not because I want to, not because I have to overcome anything, not to prove myself to anyone, but because it's there. I eat because that's what people do.

“I like how you don't hide your problems like everyone else, and I don't have to hide mine when I'm around you.”

“Relationships change even more than people. It's like two people changing. It's exponentially more volatile. Especially two teenagers.”

“If you can't get out of bed for long enough, people come and take your bed away”
