My mother's my biggest supporter.

You never really see me acting a fool on TV.

I can work myself up into a fearful, paralyzing state of mind that can last for days, weeks even months where I feel mad, totally isolated and alone, overwhelmed and completely out of control.

You need sucky things in life to make you stronger.

Partying isn't every aspect to my personality.

People are essentially red meat. They are.

Know when to speak - for many times it brings danger, to give the best advice to kings.

For those whose goal it is to twist wrong into right, a good starting point is to convince young people that the vulgar is beautiful.
