I really do see that anywhere I am, whether it's doing interviews a hundred in a row, that every situation I'm in, I'm at choice in the matter.

These precious illusions in my head did not let me down when I was defenseless, and parting with them is like parting with invisible best friends.

I do feel blessed to be in the public eye so I can share what I believe. But I think it would be extremely disappointing if I were to count on it to provide happiness. I've come to realize that any time I do that, the fulfillment is short-lived at best.

I get angry at myself for staying in relationships way too long.

In one breath, I can say that we are God, but in another I have to say that we aren't deities.

It's not hard to feel afraid and insecure. I still fight an inner-critic voice, definitely. I hear it a lot.

I grew up in a very masculine environment. So I was around a lot of men, my brothers and their friends. There was just a lot of guys around.
