It wasn't until I went to college and met different people from different areas of life - and then went to San Francisco and met people who really knew who the hell they were - that I kind of caught up in a hurry.

There's something kind of beautiful about that pure love of things. Like, "I'll show that I love the thing I love by hating everything else."
