It shows the truth - that the real meaning of a word is only as powerful or harmless as the emotion behind it.

People can't help what topics cut them deep. It all depends on who's inferring - and what the contexts of their lives are at the time.

I remember the horror story that I told myself over and over again. I'm totally alone in my body. I'm totally alone in my head and nobody will ever see through my eyes. I'm just completely alone.

I like talking about things that are taboo, because it makes them not taboo anymore.

I don't set out to offend or shock, but I also don't do anything to avoid it.

I'll be back. I'll be black. I'll be white black.
