I think you only see experiences as defining moments with distance.

I love karaoke. I love maudlin country ballads. In another life I'd be Loretta Lynn.

One of the few times I saw my mother cry was when Lennon died, and the other time was when Elvis died.

I hate rats. I had a pet rat to try and overcome it. I even gave him mouth-to mouth resuscitation when he had a heart attack. But I couldn't conquer it.

I remember as a kid not ever wanting to have friends around to my house because it was, for want of a better description, disheveled.

I love life. I think it's fantastic. Sometimes it deals hard things, and when it deals great things, you have to seize them.

In my life, I've never really listened to when people start forming opinions on how you should be doing things.
