Seeing myself on the screen makes me cringe. I understand that I am that way - pouty.

I'm so gullible. I'm so damn gullible. And I am so sick of me being gullible.

I am really puzzled to understand myself.

A lot of the time when I write about the person that I love, I feel like I'm writing about New York.

I'm not a natural performer or exhibitionist. When I was younger, I hated the focus, and it made me feel strange.

I don't believe in the school of hard knocks, although I've had them. All that stuff about whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger is so not true. Do you know what makes you stronger? When people treat you and your art with dignity.
