Bipolar disorder can be a great teacher. It's a challenge, but it can set you up to be able to do almost anything else in your life.

Then I overdosed at 28, at which point I began to accept the bipolar diagnosis.

I probably have more male friends that talk about us in a way that doesn't thrill me. I sometimes get a bit surprised when females talk like that around men.

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

I say more power to [Madonna], though I don't know how much more power is out there.

I don't know about understood. I think that unless you are forced to understand - unless it is an issue of yours - you wouldn't bother to.

I am someone who will rise to an occasion like that. Other occasions can defeat me.
