I think the world is a place for oddballs and freaks. I'm only interested in oddballs and freaks as characters.

I'm not a believer in luck, but I do believe you need it.

It's a lot harder to find fault with the mundane details of daily existence when you really, really know on a cellular level that you're going to go, and that this moment, right now, is life. Life isn't what happens to you in 20 years. This moment, right now, is your life.

You have no idea what I'm talking about, I'm sure.

I guess in America we're so sold on this ideal of the perfect, well-adjusted family that is able to confront any conflict and, with true love and understanding, work things through. I'm sure they do exist, but I never knew any of them.

I was conveniently bisexual for a long time, and then I went, 'Come on, who am I kidding?' And I have to say, it was the single biggest step I took toward emotional well-being, to stop feeling like I had to hide who I am.

My own belief is that people can come back from anything. It doesn't mean that it won't come at a huge cost.
