I hold back parts of my life and experiences... I don't want to share anything just for the sake of sharing and exposing myself, but if something feels right and I feel inspired by the situations or moment I'll definitely share it. There are so many stories and experiences I have not shared, and I don't feel compelled to.
Tig NotaroI always wonder, aside from even my name, what if my parents never split up? What if my mother never died? It swirls in my head all the time.
Tig NotaroI think my brain just has a natural way of going to what would be the most insane thing, the least likely option.
Tig NotaroI worked at restaurants and coffee shops and babysitting and just whatever I could do to make money.
Tig NotaroI'm now a pretty good mix of my mother and my stepfather because I'm in general pretty mellow. I'm not hyper-emotional. But there's also this side of me - my mother was an artist and very funny and a dancer and very wild and into fashion. My stepfather traveled a lot, and I kind of took on a role of parenting my mother a lot of times, because she was pretty hard to handle. A bit of a pistol.
