I guess high verbal skills are highest in my list of necessary qualifications for a man - for anyone actually. I like to talk. And I don't necessarily move far, but I move fast.

It creates community when you talk about private things and you can find other people that have the same things.

For Star Wars, they had me tape down my breasts because there are no breasts in space. I have some. I have two.

Still, the word "boyfriend" starts to sound pathetic after age 30.

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

Sometimes I think all I want to find is a mean guy and make him be nice to me. Or maybe a nice guy who's a little bit mean to me. But they're usually too nice too soon or too mean too long.

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.
