I think we all have madness in us, it's just that I've realized mine and found a way to let it out.

My point of view is, I'm just a person, and there are times when I look at other people and think, 'My God, they spend so much time thinking about things that seem so absurd.' But I'm sure people must think the same thing about me.

I'm not interested in trying to work on people's perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don't take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.

If you have an over-preoccupation with perception and trying to please people's expectations, then you can go mad.

Madness doesn't happen to someone alone. Very few people have experiences that are theirs alone.

People tend to think I'm insane, and I'm really tired of it.

People have this preconceived notion of me. I'm 'Gob' to them: this thoughtless sociopath who lives this bizarre, ego-driven life. That would be insanity.

I'm this goofball. I look at myself in the mirror, and the person that I know doesn't match up to what I think people love to perceive me as.

People accuse me of glamorizing mental illness. Looking back sometimes, that's true. But I don't feel guilty.

I think people really need to think what it's like to have all of society arrayed against you.
