Any ideas of “other” are complicated, and otherness is relative to personal ideas of “normal.”

Once you encounter people who are really testing the limits of kindness, that's when you start to build up a shield and close yourself down.

My greatest influence is Jimi Hendrix, and if he's been reincarnated, or if he's looking down, sideways, or looking up, I just wanted to tell him that I love him and thank him for opening doors for me. I just wanted to make it beautiful for him.

My legacy is in my family, not in my work. For me. I don't know about for other people. I try to forget a lot.

I think secretly I've realized after my time on the planet that I have no control over what people feel about me or need from me, so I just have a more laid-back approach in my apologies.
