Unwisely, Santa offered a teddy bear to James, unaware he had been mauled by a grizzly earlier this year.

I'm a happy-go-lucky manic-depressive. It does get very deep and dark for me, and it gets scary at times when I feel I can't pull out of it. But I don't consider myself negative-negative. I'm positive-negative.

[Childbirth] is the weirdest thing I've ever seen. It's like an 'Alien' movie. I started crying, it was so emotional ... I was there in the room but I wasn't planning on doing much. But then I see this blue pinhead come out and I think I said to the nurse, 'What the hell is that?' And then it turns into this round red thing in seconds. It's just shocking.

I never sort of really regret anything because you make your choices and I like to stand by them.

Half the fun is plan to plan

I always wonder why some people see things as weird and some people don't.

I was never interested in what everybody else was interested in. I was very interiorized. I always felt kind of sad.
