"What a waste my life would be without all the beautiful mistakes I've made."

"“What a waste my life would be without all the beautiful mistakes I've made.”"

"If you’re not smiling at yourself in the mirror, you probably need to check that the life you’re building is aligned to the life you dreamed for yourself. And if you’re not dreaming, you need to start dreaming."

"Sifting through long forgotten stories of my childhood and writing on a daily basis, I became obsessed with following the threads of my memories, one leading to another. I start pulling on a single, seemingly trivial strand, only to discover it is attached to a longer strand; that one in turn is attached to an even bigger one. Sometimes, I find have tugged a whole, hidden tapestry of my past into view, one thread at a time."

"If anyone hits me, they can expect to be hit back, and harder. I never turn the other cheek because in my experience that doesn’t work."

"During my 20’s and 30’s at some point I started to think, “I have to give it up and I have to grow up.” But the truth is that I can never give it up and that’s another thing that I always tell people, especially young people: don’t even bother thinking that you’re going to give up whatever your art or your creative thing is. It’s always there for you."

"My sexuality is not an inferior trait that needs to be chaperoned by emotionalism or morality."

"I don’t want to accidentally end up looking back on my life to find that I’m ashamed of myself, I want to live a life I can be proud of."
