On being a big city girl: "We're both street rats. Being a New Yorker is a part of your personality, and he grew up in the heart of Paris. Just surviving the urban jungle is character building . . . It stays with you forever."
On falling for the wrong guy: "Long, long ago, I had someone in my life who was forever unavailable . . . but, like, so attractively unavailable. You have to get to your breaking point . . . rock bottom is the moment when you're like, 'I've lost myself. Why am I standing outside this bar at 1:30 in the morning texting while my friends are inside? Or taking a taxi to see him at some ungodly hour? This isn't me.' That is the moment you've gotta cut it off. Otherwise, it will keep coming back, suck your blood."
