Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Setting Boundaries

  • "It's called a private life for a reason—it's mine, and it's special and sacred. My relationships are between me and whomever I'm with, not between me and the world."
  • "I was not able to enjoy Paris because of [the paparazzi], and I really wish I had just gone and done my own thing, explored museums, but I couldn't. It was too overwhelming."
  • "It's very much a constant balance of what do I share? What do I not share? I want to be authentic, but I also don't want to give everyone parts of myself that they don't need to know about."
  • "You have to understand that I'm not on 100 percent of the time. And I shouldn't be expected to be."

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Mental Health

  • "I've had social anxiety forever—I don't thrive in social or party settings."
  • "I've had OCD since I was in elementary school."
  • "I've experienced depression and anxiety. Not constantly, but I'm still experiencing it. I have spells of time where I feel completely unmotivated, I don't want to do anything and I question myself. I don't know how to handle stress very well. I find that talking about it and sharing my experience with other people, and reminding myself that I'm not alone has been incredibly therapeutic."
  • "Sometimes I wake up and I'm like, 'OK, I have anxiety today.' I'm not really sure why, I'm more irritable than usual. It's like an undercurrent that lives within me, and certain social situations can obviously trigger my anxiety. I work a lot of hours, sometimes I don't get a lot of sleep, and that makes me anxious. I've found a way to talk myself down when I'm getting super anxious."
  • "Let's talk about [depression] like it actually is. It's a very real thing, a day-to-day thing, not just you sitting in a dark room alone. It's something that comes in all shapes and colours and all different scenarios, all different types of people."


Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Body Image

  • "Looking 'skinnier' in a photo on Instagram is not worth the detrimental psychological effects that these photoshopping apps have given our generation."
  • "Our bodies should not conform to 'one size fits all.'"
  • "Even today, I see myself in the mirror and think, this doesn't look the way the world tells me it should. I don't have a cinched, minuscule waist. I do have curves, I have cellulite, my arms aren't stick thin. This is my body and we're told that it should fit certain proportions. There's such a disgusting problem right now with people photoshopping their bodies. Obviously, there's a reason why people do it, they're insecure, they feel like they're not good enough, and that's incredibly sad."


Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Riverdale

  • "Our version of Betty in the show is so quite different and a lot more complex and three-dimensional than she is as a comic-book character, so I think we've created our own Betty to where people don't really compare her that much to the comics, which is nice for me."
  • "Being on Riverdale and just doing films and projects like this gives you the opportunity to do stuff that you would never in a million years do. Filming Riverdale, especially this past season, I'm doing things now in my life that I never would have ever thought I'd get to experience, like stunts."
  • "I think it was interesting the first two seasons because Dark Betty was like this physical manifestation of darkness that a human has. And now it's sort of evolved into she's accepted that she has a dark side – everyone has a dark side – so now it's not really like this costume that she has to put on. It's just a part of herself."

Lili Reinhart's Quotes About Her Career

  • "At least this past year has been trying to take advantage of where I am in my life. I don't have kids, I'm young, in my 20s – I can take the time and energy to put into my career."
  • "Poetry gives me that feeling that my feelings are normal, justified. That other people have felt heartache and grief. I know that the things I've written are what 99% of human beings have felt, when they read my book."
  • "I was from a small town in Ohio, from a middle-class family, I knew no one in the acting business. I didn't have a baton passed down to me from an actor in my family. I did it on my own from sheer passion and knowing that this is what I was good at, and this is what I wanted to do. There truly is a lot of power in struggle and survival, and that's what makes you a strong person."
