Pretty, pretty please, don't you ever ever feel like you're less than, less than perfect.

I'm such a control freak, and it's very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.

I've always felt like the underdog, and I'm comfortable with that label.

I'm very much in the trenches, and I don't live in the lap of luxury. I come from a working-class military family. We watch the news and read the paper and vote, so there's always something to be upset about. I always have a certain amount of angst in my back pocket.

For so long, I was searching for something to be proud of. But at a certain point, I realized, 'Wait, I'm doing what I want to be doing. I'm not wanting to do it; I'm doing it.' And that's awesome.

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn't worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

The willow is my favorite tree. I grew up near one. It's the most flexible tree in nature and nothing can break it - no wind, no elements, it can bend and withstand anything.
