I would never say that I'm not going to do something. I like not being limited.

We're naturally afraid of a spider - these are memories that are being chemically passed down through your DNA.

I'm a history person, and I love the groundedness of that, of being able to go, "Yes! People acted like that."

I would not give up a lot of what I know about my heritage. I would not give up knowing where I came from, the good parts and the bad parts.

I love getting into the basement of a courthouse, and all the dusty records - all that stuff makes me really happy.

I think [it's necessary to accept] things that are just true about yourself: These are my faults, these are the things I'm good at, this is where I came from, this is where I didn't come from. I think happy people are the ones who have made peace with those truths and acknowledged them, and learned to use them and live with them.

History is absolutely my thing.
