The aging process is totally minimizing. Life in general is pretty minimizing because you have a lot of big ideas, and you have to battle the mistaken delusions and instability that come with youth.

In my experience of living, for a time, in the underbelly of society, I spent a lot of time in various holding cells.

I don't really feel like I need to be a teenager ever again.

It's such a weird thing: to sit and look at yourself is so distracting to the psyche. It would be like me standing in front of a mirror and looking at myself all day, trying to find a flaw.

Life is not for the faint of heart.

No, but it is something I really enjoy speaking about. You've got to do something with all the books you've read, so you might as well imagine you've optioned them.

I am a hooker with a heart of gold.
