Sometimes I try to figure out why I always push things to talk about the really dark stuff in interviews, and I just think it's healing - for the listener, and for the guest.

I have no desire to drink anymore. I just don't want to feel altered.

There are certain relationships that just don't fit into "good" or "bad"; they transcend it.

Once I stopped drinking and I'd be going out on dates, or hanging out with guys, I'd realize, "Oh, maybe I don't like them that much!" I think the drinking was to make these guys more tolerable.

Drinking is a fast-forward button; it makes you feel close to a person so quickly.

I'm lucky that people feel comfortable sharing things with me.

Every time someone opens up to me, it just feels like a gift they're giving me, because it's a chance to experience another human being.
