Everyone, everywhere, and all the time, used to laugh at me when I was growing up. So, when I was around 18, I thought, 'I'll become a comedian, and then if everyone laughs at me, I'll be famous.' So I went on stage one night and, for the first time in my life, everyone stopped laughing at me.
Emo PhilipsMy dad always said, If someone hands you a lemon, make lemonade. Plus that also works wonderfully as a metaphor.
Emo PhilipsI don't really hang out with people. I like to be by myself. In fact, I've been arrested a few times because I like to walk around at two or three in the morning, looking at shop windows. The cops take me to the station and fingerprint me. But I wouldn't call that hanging out.
Emo PhilipsI don't know if I was put on this Earth for a purpose or not. But I'm fairly confident that I'll be taken off of it for one.
