Quote

I hate pain, despite my ability to tolerate it beyond all known parameters, which is not necessarily a good thing.

I don't seek discomfort. But, very often, you realise that what you fear is actually quite ephemeral; something's different, something's unfamiliar; therefore, it must be worse.

All discomfort comes from suppressing your true identity.

What annoyances are more painful than those of which we cannot complain?

I don't like pain.

I'm very comfortable with uncomfortable situations, and I think that can seem odd to people, that I like the thrill of discomfort.

Discomfort is very much part of my master plan.

I love discomfort. I mean, my whole life is discomfort. One reason I can never retire is that the idea of just sitting on the beach totally comfortable is not a desideratum in my life. I like ambiguity, I like conflict, I like uncertainly.
