When it comes to accepting emotional support or affection, I'm a little guarded and hardened to that.

Anytime anybody is rude, it makes me double-check my own behavior to make sure I don't do that to other people.

You kind of think people get sick of you after a while, but apparently not.

Most of my friends from college became dental hygienists or went into retail, a lot went into sales. They all started getting married and having kids and buying homes and I was still living like a college student

As a child, I would put on shows in my neighborhood with friends and perform Barbra Streisand songs for my classmates.
