I don't see the world unless I see it in ink.

I used to love reading when I was little, and then it became difficult and I didn't understand why. I thought, what a bummer, my passion all drained out of me. So when I found out I had dyslexia, it was like, oh, that's what it was.

I'd rather see the world from a different angle.

Some people want fame, popularity and huge sales. I've always hoped to have a really long career. So I've tried to make each of my creative decisions and business decisions to allow for longevity. As a side effect I got really famous and really big. I didn't realize the two could go together.

I personally feel the most vulnerable when I write. That's where I learned to tell the truth when I was young.

I've always been a workhorse.

Telling the truth to yourself and someone you can trust are great ways to help elevate your whole emotional quality.
