I try to keep myself as sane and as grounded as possible by surrounding myself with normal people, such as all the friends that I've had from when I was little.

I make sure I always surround myself with good, down to earth, fun, real people, who always keep me grounded.
We take our bearings, daily, from others. To be sane is, to a great extent, to be sociable.
I think I've actually had a pretty standard upbringing. My parents are really normal, so I've always had them around to keep me grounded.
I've never been able to relate to many people. I've always been the outcast child. I don't follow the rules. That's kind of how I do everything. Through my music, I've found a place in the world where I'm accepted, so I'm happy.
I just try and surround myself, for the biggest proportion of time that I can, with people who make me feel normal, because constantly feeling abnormal is quite difficult.
I have a strong head on my shoulders... I've always been grounded. People would think not because of who I am, but I've always been raised with that sense of morals from my dad and my mother.
Once everyone else around you starts to become incredibly comfortable - if anything, quite happy with what you are doing - then I start to settling in and trusting all those choices that I've made up to that point.
If you don't live a normal life, how do you relate to people?
I've always been super-private and protective of certain experiences and certain friends.
My other life keeps me calm and grounded and normal.
