My fear is that I will be crushed in an elevator and my mother will get hold of my journals from my adolescence.

Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.

I am mentally ill. I can say that. I am not ashamed of that. I survived that, I'm still surviving it, but bring it on. Better me than you.

I have the ability, occasionally, of being able to step out and see who you think I could end up being. And I like to play with that.

Actors may know how to act, but a lot of them don't know how to behave.

I'm fine, but I'm bipolar. I'm on seven medications, and I take medication three times a day. This constantly puts me in touch with the illness I have. I'm never quite allowed to be free of that for a day. It's like being a diabetic.

I have a mess in my head sometimes, and there's something very satisfying about putting it into words. Certainly it's not something that you're in charge of, necessarily, but writing about it, putting it into your words, can be a very powerful experience.
