The only reason I ever brought it up in the first place is because when I was young, I read a lot of misinformation about eating disorders. But because I picked the wrong magazine to tell my story to, I wished I'd never said anything. It was totally sensationalized and that's been a real drag. I felt terribly violated.

I don't know what you teach American men in school here, but you have to keep it up, because it's extremely charming.

No one is more enslaved than a slave who doesn't think they're enslaved.
