Part of my gestalt is that I still feel a little bit like a wallflower. Even in my own life. I talk about myself behind my back.

I don't want to be thought of as a survivor because you have to continue getting involved in difficult situations to show off that particular gift, and I'm not interested in doing that anymore.

I've often said to myself, "Thank God I can write, 'cause this is hilarious." I actually wanted to go into all that more in the book, but my editor thought it was too crazy.

No, as it turns out, I really like being congratulated on my weight loss. I like it so much, it's tragic.

You can't really accurately diagnose someone, I think. Or I've been told that.

A lot of the time, I'm just smart enough to be unhappy.

I've never been that uncomfortable talking about it. Things come out [in the media] about me. When it's out, it's someone else's version of what's the matter with me. I want it to be my version of what it is. My recourse is to do my version.
