Any feeling that I was enriching my mind from those surrounding me was unfortunately rare with me.

For a year, I had all sorts of weirdos coming on to me.

I live quite an unsettled life.

My wild and free side unsettled some, and unwedged others.

The weirdest thing about a mind is that you can have the most intense things going on in there, but no one else can see them.

I seriously believed that my last hour was approaching, and yet, so strange is imagination, all I thought of was some childish hypothesis or other. In such circumstances, you do not choose your own thoughts. They overcome you.

I was always a dreamer, in childhood especially. People thought I was a little strange.

People that were in my life for a long time turned sinister and tried to control me, and all kinds of weird stuff happened. But there was no conscience involved; that threw me more than anything.

I was a strange kid. I'm still strange. People didn't get me. And I didn't expect them to.

I was regarded as the school freak which further reinforced a lot of inhibitions and doubts I had about myself. I was a shy, frightened teenager for a long time.
