From quite early on, I had this idea of compartmentalized identities - 'this is how you are when you are with your mum, and this is how you are when you are with your dad' - so it seemed like I could never absolutely be myself.

I had a sense of formulating a paper-mache version of myself to send out in the world, while I sat controlling it remotely from some smug suburban barracks.

When you bump into your own mom at an orgy, it's hard not to get her to read into certain things.

The one measure of true love is: you can insult the other. --Slavoj Zizek
