Favorite Quote:
"And I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is, I’m really in pursuit of greatness. I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight. I’m as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there. So I’m deeply grateful. This doesn’t signify that, but it’s a little more fuel. It’s a little more ammo to keep going. Thank you so much." - Timothee Chalamet, SAG Awards, 2025


She's always been different 

She never felt like she was included in activities at home

It got worse at school, she never played on the playground

She would go home and lay down in bed, reading her books 

She always was different from everyone else

She was always kind to everyone she met

She never did anything terrible to anyone 

She always helped the old lady cross the road 

She always picked up after herself 

She would always help anyone who needed it

One day she was changed

She stopped reading, stopped being kind 

She stopped helping people who needed it

She would sit in the class and not do any work 

She was always disrespectful to everyone 

She was different, she didn't want to be different but she had to be 

She had to be disrespectful, she had to be hateful

Because that is what her parents showed her

They never showed her love, compassion, helpfulness 

They only showed her hate, harmfulness,

It's just how she was raised,

She was never told to keep the door open for other people,

She was never taught to be kind 

She was never in a good home 

She was taught that only men and women could be together
