Everything is in our cellular level. My mom's is definitely in my cellular memory.

I was always attracted to characters that were in some level of turmoil or suffering because I had so much of that in my own life and I wanted to channel it. I was always into darker things.

I want people to think about the connection between mothers and daughters. I like the idea of continuity of life and generations.

Everything is in our cellular level. My mom's is definitely in my cellular memory.

I thought my mom's whole purpose was to be my mom. That's how she made me feel.

Falling in love for the first time, and then the heartbreak of having it end, is difficult, but I don't think it would ever hurt as much as when my mother was killed in the boating accident. I feel a part of my heart has already been broken, and that place is reserved for mother.

Being vulnerable has always been my way of dealing with my grief, from the beginning. Even before I knew I was that way, I cried it out all the time. I expressed my feelings.
