We live in a society that is afraid of ways of being it doesn't understand.

I use nothing but homeopathic remedies, for my girls as well.

Manhattan, though, was an entirely different ballgame in a whole different kind of world, with a man who was brilliant and at the same time terribly charismatic.

What I wasn't prepared for were the feelings of anxiety that it stirred in me. I wasn't prepared for the initial feeling of I don't want to have to do that again. I was scared.

I'm not that old, and I haven't lived a life so far from the ordinary, really.

The prevalence of mental illness compels me to give it - and the people suffering from it - a voice.

I really felt that I had to stay level, I had to control, I had to know what I was eating, I had to know what I was doing, I had to work out. All that stuff is very powerful and it really helps, but now I don't do it out of survival. At first, I was just trying to survive. I assumed at some point I'd be screwed otherwise.
