Maddy Perez from Euphoria is utterly iconic in more ways than one. She has a wardrobe that can kill, a brilliant sense of humor, and an abundance of confidence in herself that some people spend their whole lives yearning to achieve. Her playful attitude and bold actions make Maddy Perez one of the most lovable characters in television history. She isn't afraid to be true to herself and she doesn't have time to be modest- Maddy knows her greatness, and she doesn't shy away from it.
She instead wears it like a (rhinestoned) badge of honor. This glamorous chili pot-throwing baddie deserves all the attention she can get, which is why we're now focusing on the 10 most iconic quotes from the bejeweled queen.
10 "Your Whole Family Is So F*Cking Weird."
During the finale of Euphoria, Maddy finally decided that enough was enough. When it came to Nate Jacobs and his crazy dad, their rage issues were entering dangerous territory in Maddy's life, and she came to the conclusion that she wanted nothing to do with their family.
Both Nate and Cal Jacobs suffered from toxic masculinity and they both felt as though they had to suppress their emotions. Bottling up your feelings, especially feelings of anger, is never ideal. It will only lead to explosive behavior in the long run, which is exactly what happens with Nate. Maddy finally realizes that this is a toxic environment, and as much as she used to love Nate, she knows that she shouldn't be around this family.
9 "B*Tch, You're My Soulmate."
Sometimes our soul mates aren't are romantic partners, but instead, they're our best friends. Maddy says this to Cassie at the funfair, when Cassie admits to her BFF that she's "never not gone through someone's phone." At this point, Maddy is concerned with Nate's behavior and she thinks he's cheating on her. Images from his phone lead this to be a strong possibility.
Cassie's shameless response ensures their everlasting friendship because Cassie is able to make Maddy laugh even when she's severely stressed out over the situation. Sometimes the best friendships are the ones when our friends can make us forget about our issues for a short amount of time and instead make us feel good and justified about our actions in a humorous way.
8 "She Never Really Had Any Desire To Have A Career Or Job."
Although this isn't a direct quote from Maddy herself, it is about her, and it is an essential line to describe Maddy's personality. Is she entitled? Yes. But she deserves the world, and she isn't ashamed about it.
She fantasizes about living a luxurious lifestyle filled with lobster dinners and fur coats that are worn in her favorite movies. Maddy knows exactly what she wants, and she carries no shame in trying to get it. We should all aspire to be as shameless about our authentic desires as Ms. Perez is. Why hide your truth when you simply don't have to?
7 "Do You Think My Areolas Look Weird?"
Here is yet another shimmering example of how shamelessly confident (and hilarious) Maddy from Euphoria is. Once upon a time, women were taught to exude modesty as a virtue so they wouldn't come across as self-assured. A woman who is able to say what's on her mind is reprimanded in our society, but Maddy will not succumb to these strict gender rules.
She says whatever random thought springs to her mind, and she couldn't care less if other people don't like it. It's who she is, and she won't step down in order to be more socially appropriate.
6 "We Don't Eat Carbs!"
Maddy says this during the funfair after the guy working the pretzel stand asks if he can take their order. The surprisingly young kid who's working the pretzel stand is also the town drug dealer, and he hides the drugs in the pretzels.
It takes a while for Maddy to catch onto this, but the line itself is just so hilarious because Maddy's way of life is just so funny to witness. With this quote, she comes across as the stereotypical popular girl who cares deeply about her self image, yet we all know there is so much more to her than that.
5 "I'm Not Supposed To Be Here Right Now Because I'm Dressed Like A Hooker."
"I'm not supposed to be here right now because I'm dressed like a hooker and none of you like me."
Maddy says this to the Jacobs family when they're working at the chili stand. She's wearing an outfit that's not exactly formal, and Nate slut-shames her for it, comparing her to a hooker. Yet instead of changing into more modest clothes like Nathan tells her to do, she instead decides that it would be more productive to cause a scene. One of the funniest scenes in the entire HBO series is when Maddy takes the pot of Chili that Cal had worked so hard on, and spills the entire pot to the ground. Yes, on purpose. It's just how Maddy rolls. What's the fun in life without a bit of drama?
4 "First Of All, Ew. Second Of All, Ew."
Maddy says this when she sees Nate at the school dance as he dancing with another girl. Not only is she disgusted by Nate at this point, but she is also grossed out by his current efforts to try and make Maddy jealous.
Unfortunately, his actions are successful and she ends up storming towards a group of guys, asking if they want to dance with her so she can make him jealous in return. It ends up working, and he storms off the dance floor once he sees Maddy with another guy.
3 "Kissing Is Worse. It's So Much More Intimate."
Cassie admits to the girls that she made out with Daniel while she was in a relationship with McKay. They didn't go any further than kissing because Cassie would feel too guilty, even though she and McKay were facing many challenges in their relationship.
Maddy tells Cassie that kissing another guy is worse than sleeping with him because kissing is more romantic and intimate.
2 "I'm Just Saying, Love Is A Million Things."
Maddy tells her friends that love is a million things. She says sometimes it can make you feel amazing, and sometimes it can wind up making you feel terrible. This is clear as day when it comes to her relationship with Nate, which winds up becoming abusive and toxic in every way imaginable.
As Maddy eventually learns the hard way, love shouldn't have to make you feel terrible. That's just not a healthy mindset to have. Solid relationships involve two partners who want to lift each other up rather than tear each other down.
1 "The Universe Is Just Out Here Giving Zero F*Cks."
Maddy says this hilarious dose of wisdom while on the Ferris wheel with Cassie. Essentially, what she is saying is that no matter how big your problems get, they aren't as significant as you think they are in the grand scheme of things.
Even when things get so bad in your own life that you think you can never come back from your struggles, there are always opportunities to recover. The universe will forgive you, so you should be able to forgive yourself as well.
