Lili Reinhart is so much more than her Riverdale character Betty Cooper. The actress, producer, and writer recently starred in Hustlers, is starring in and producing the upcoming drama Chemical Hearts, and has a book of poetry called Swimming Lessons coming out next year. But in addition to all her work on screen and on the page, Lili is always busy giving her fans perfect gems of wisdom. Lili Reinhart's quotes cover all the important things in life, from mental health to body image to how to find balance in life. No matter what she's talking about, Lili is truly an inspiration.

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Setting Boundaries

  • "It's called a private life for a reason—it's mine, and it's special and sacred. My relationships are between me and whomever I'm with, not between me and the world."
  • "I was not able to enjoy Paris because of [the paparazzi], and I really wish I had just gone and done my own thing, explored museums, but I couldn't. It was too overwhelming."
  • "It's very much a constant balance of what do I share? What do I not share? I want to be authentic, but I also don't want to give everyone parts of myself that they don't need to know about."
  • "You have to understand that I'm not on 100 percent of the time. And I shouldn't be expected to be."

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Mental Health

  • "I've had social anxiety forever—I don't thrive in social or party settings."
  • "I've had OCD since I was in elementary school."
  • "I've experienced depression and anxiety. Not constantly, but I'm still experiencing it. I have spells of time where I feel completely unmotivated, I don't want to do anything and I question myself. I don't know how to handle stress very well. I find that talking about it and sharing my experience with other people, and reminding myself that I'm not alone has been incredibly therapeutic."
  • "Sometimes I wake up and I'm like, 'OK, I have anxiety today.' I'm not really sure why, I'm more irritable than usual. It's like an undercurrent that lives within me, and certain social situations can obviously trigger my anxiety. I work a lot of hours, sometimes I don't get a lot of sleep, and that makes me anxious. I've found a way to talk myself down when I'm getting super anxious."
  • "Let's talk about [depression] like it actually is. It's a very real thing, a day-to-day thing, not just you sitting in a dark room alone. It's something that comes in all shapes and colors and all different scenarios, all different types of people."

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Body Image

  • "Looking 'skinnier' in a photo on Instagram is not worth the detrimental psychological effects that these photoshopping apps have given our generation."
  • "Our bodies should not conform to 'one size fits all.'"
  • "Even today, I see myself in the mirror and think, this doesn't look the way the world tells me it should. I don't have a cinched, minuscule waist. I do have curves, I have cellulite, my arms aren't stick thin. This is my body and we're told that it should fit certain proportions. There's such a disgusting problem right now with people photoshopping their bodies. Obviously, there's a reason why people do it, they're insecure, they feel like they're not good enough, and that's incredibly sad."

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Riverdale

  • "Our version of Betty in the show is so quite different and a lot more complex and three-dimensional than she is as a comic-book character, so I think we've created our own Betty to where people don't really compare her that much to the comics, which is nice for me."
  • "Being on Riverdale and just doing films and projects like this gives you the opportunity to do stuff that you would never in a million years do. Filming Riverdale, especially this past season, I'm doing things now in my life that I never would have ever thought I'd get to experience, like stunts."
  • "I think it was interesting the first two seasons because Dark Betty was like this physical manifestation of darkness that a human has. And now it's sort of evolved into she's accepted that she has a dark side – everyone has a dark side – so now it's not really like this costume that she has to put on. It's just a part of herself."

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Her Career

  • "At least this past year has been trying to take advantage of where I am in my life. I don't have kids, I'm young, in my 20s – I can take the time and energy to put into my career."
  • "Poetry gives me that feeling that my feelings are normal, justified. That other people have felt heartache and grief. I know that the things I've written are what 99% of human beings have felt, when they read my book."
  • "I was from a small town in Ohio, from a middle-class family, I knew no one in the acting business. I didn't have a baton passed down to me from an actor in my family. I did it on my own from sheer passion and knowing that this is what I was good at, and this is what I wanted to do. There truly is a lot of power in struggle and survival, and that's what makes you a strong person."
