I've been angst-ridden all my life, but finally I'm in a place where things don't matter so much.

I have many moods, and there is no objective reality. And I kind of live by that.

For me, everything that you're passionate about always comes with a little pain. That's how life is, and that's how I want to live it. I don't want it to be balanced and ordinary.

When people meet me I think they're surprised to find out I'm not always angst-ridden.

I can't complain about my life. I have a really nice life. I have a great family and I live in a gorgeous part of the country.

There are days that I wake up and I complain, and when I complain I pinch myself and say, 'that's for complaining.' Not many people can do what they really like in life.

I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

Once a week, I like to slip into a deep existential depression where I lose all my sense of oneness and self-worth.

I'm not complaining about my life; every moment of it has been fantastic, and I'm so lucky.

I have the true feeling of myself only when I am unbearably unhappy.
