Read quote
Because for whatever reason, even though I want to stay home all the time and be left alone, I want to tell the world who I am now.
Read quote
I got a lot of problems, but I'm really good at intuiting what I need to do to be happy with whatever I create. I know when to stop myself, I know when to start, I know when to leave something alone. I guess I just kind of indulge that completely, and so I just take my time.

I just tend to do things to myself that I don't realize I'm doing. Sometimes I bite my lip so that it splits and hurts, and yet I can't stop. And sometimes I'd play shows on the last run, I'd scratch my neck while I was singing, and I'd horrified to see these red streaks of blood after.

Read quote
I never thought I'd be in a position where people would be talking about my sexuality and saying how good I look in underwear.
Read quote
Now I feel like whatever I do, no one can hurt me. I cannot be violated, I cannot be humiliated, I cannot be disregarded, I cannot be disrespected.
Read quote
I've never been to the websites. It's a lot healthier for me to keep out of the conversations about me.
Read quote
I had really bad obsessive-compulsive disorder.
