Usually my writing is very over the top and bombastic and very, like, 'I'm amazing! Look at me!'

The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.

I can assure you that it feels even stranger to me than it probably does to you to have seen so much written about me when I have done so little to paint a picture of myself.

There's a weird cloud around you when you're recognizable. It was a brief window for me. I think you have to have a pathological need for attention of any type, negative or positive, to thrive in that kind of situation. And I only want compliments.

We all love to be admired and given compliments, but I don't really keep track.

The greatest compliment I ever got was when people called me an artist, and I understand that solo aspect of being an artist, when you're in there by yourself, trying to do something great, and people who don't even know you can come up and just dump on you.

I write a lot about myself.

I probably get strangers coming up to me two or three times a week to just say something nice. I get more than my share of compliments as I walk through my daily life. I'm not having to show off or make a point about how good I am at doing something. I think I've always kind of been that way.

I've received a lot of compliments. People come right up to me on the street. They recognize me.
