I think that in today's world, by nature, we are all self-centered. And that often leads to selfishness.

Anytime you share life stories with other people, you know, you are acknowledging their humanity and kind of accessing some things about yourself, and other people start to expect things about themselves. It's kind of like a fellowship.

Perhaps the thing that makes humans truly unique on Earth is that we are never satisfied with our situation; maybe that is what's taken us so far.

Remember that what you have is unique because it's your own special way of looking at the world.

It is always our own self that we find at the end of the journey. The sooner we face that self, the better.

The thing is, if you're in this world, you have to do things for yourself, not for others, because everyone will judge you for anything.

It's extraordinary how self-obsessed human beings are. The things that people always go on about is, 'tell us about us', 'tell us about the first human being'. We are so self-obsessed with our own history. There is so much more out there than what connects to us.

Throughout my life, I have grappled with my own identity, who I am. As a young child, I often felt ambivalent about myself, in fact, confused.
