Family is this very deep, complex thing that for most people becomes everything. It informs your entire life.

I went to a school that was founded on a lot of very radical ideals of how education should be changed. But what's happening to schools like that sort of all over the country is in economic pressure they're becoming more and more preparatory because that's what people will really pay the money for private schooling for now.

The most important thing is actually raising up children with a true and lasting burning sense of curiosity. I don't even know how they do it. Good parents are a marvel.

I'm super-popular, so I had to pretend to be a loser, which was super-hard.

I am very much in love with no one in particular.

Friends that I value most are people who would essentially use physical violence against me at a time when I seem to be teetering on the edge.

I don't feel like there's any need to hide the fact that I smoke pot. It's a harmless herbal substance that increases sensory appreciation.
