I think of my body as a side effect of my mind.

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.

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

I'm in denial in its lesser state. It will take me a second. People around me will notice my mania first. And, my depression.

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