I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.

I'm a leave-the-bathroom-door-open nudist, which is sometimes disconcerting for my friends.

But I love to entertain. My vocation is to accrue all these experiences, to write about them, to get them out of my system, to not get sick, and then to share them publicly.

I want to walk through life instead of being dragged through it.

We're taught to be ashamed of confusion, anger, fear and sadness, and to me they're of equal value to happiness, excitement and inspiration.

I live with some of my best friends from high school, very commune-like, in my house. It's my hippie way of life.

My own approach has always been to push intense emotions down and attempt to deal with them later.
