Tweetable Quotes

"I think, personally, I will continue on a path that is comfortable, that's miserable, that is going nowhere, unless something stops me in my path."

"There are a lot of people that are saying you want to have so many downloads, you want to have the sponsors and you want to have the affiliates and all blah, blah, blah. You want to make all the money. But you just want to be confident about what you're doing. You want to feel good about what you're doing."

"You've clearly demonstrated that you have the ability to move forward and do things and take imperfect action. And I think, whenever that creeps up or whenever you feel like that you're not enough or you don't have the voice to do what you want to do, just and you think is this an Amy 1.0 thought or is this an Amy 2.0 thought?"
