Something happened to me and I became really successful at something at a young age, and that stunts you in every other aspect of your life because you feel like that's what you're good at and so that's what you need to stay in.

It's okay,' you know? It's okay to be you. It's okay to just not be okay. It's okay to not be okay.

There are always a lot of leading questions and opinions. Of course, our work is creative, and it's subjective.

You easily close yourself off to certain things because you want to seem like you know it all, or you're not weak - emotion is often confused as weakness - so when emotions are undeniably physically affecting you, I think it's a gift.

What I did suffer when I was young was because I was sort of a hick coming into New York City. I was made fun of by a lot of the Factory people. Even Andy Warhol thought I was a hick.

I don't know who said it, but it really kind of hit me hard in the stomach: "The only difference between all of us is that some of us were loved and some of us weren't."

But, I'm kind of a control freak. I get really freaked out if I don't know what's going on and what's going to happen.
