It's hard to be perfect, It really is. I keep learning things after I've already bungled it.

I don't have to try to be perfect at everything.

My father taught me not to overthink things, that nothing will ever be perfect, so just keep moving and do your best.

I learned a lot from my Mom. My favorite lesson: remember there is no such thing as a certain way to parent and to remember that you are learning along with your child - it's ok to make mistakes.

Perfecting oneself is as much unlearning as it is learning.

You can't expect perfection. It is important to sort of acknowledge some of our imperfections. I write them down. There's something about acknowledging mistakes and being able to put them down on paper; they become facts of your life that you must live with. And then, hopefully, you can navigate the road a little bit better.

I had a lot of growing up to do. A lot of times, I learned the hard way.

I never was good at learning things. I did just enough work to pass. In my opinion it would have been wrong to do more than was just sufficient, so I worked as little as possible.

I always tried to be the perfect little girl. Always tried to have the perfect little manners. Never wanted to displease my parents.

It's been hard, but I've finally come to the realization that it's okay to not be perfect.
