[about Regina]: (in her mind) I was a woman possessed. I spent about 80% of my time talking about Regina, and the other 20% of the time, I was praying for someone else to bring her up so I could talk about her more. I could hear people getting bored with me, but I couldn't stop. It just kept coming up like word vomit. (out loud) I have this theory that if you cut off all her hair, she'd look like a British man.
[at a Mathletes competition] The limit does not exist!
[narrating] Calling somebody else fat won't make you any skinnier. Calling someone stupid doesn't make you any smarter. And ruining Regina George's life definitely didn't make me any happier. All you can do in life is try to solve the problem in front of you.
[voiceover] In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when girls can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.
[voiceover] I know it may look like I had become a bitch, but that's only because I was acting like a bitch.
Yeah, everyone in Africa can read Swedish.

Half the people in this room are mad at me, and the other half only like me because they think I pushed somebody in front a bus, so...that's not good.
I'm thinking of joining the Mathletes.
I have enough cheese and crackers for 8 people...do you think that's enough?
