Quote

Maybe in my life I sort of put myself in situations that were chaotic, outside of my life.

The secret of how to live without resentment or embarrassment in a world in which I was different from everyone else. was to be indifferent to that difference.

One of the reasons I was so unhappy for years was because I never embraced my emotions and I was trying to stay in control.

When I was a kid, everything was so unplanned, my parents were so erratic, and my world was so inconsistent.

The extreme side of my personality, which I chose to sort of display, was snowballing and getting a life of its own. It was like looking in a mirror and not recognising myself.

Since being quite young, I've had a very strong sense of independence and survival. As a child, I was on my own two feet emotionally.

I was desperately unhappy trying to adjust to the world.

I was always trying to find the balance between trying my best and being an incredible parent. I literally realized that it was chaos - but it was happy chaos.

For me, growing up, I felt like there was something fatally and tragically flawed in my nature and that it was my duty to try to avoid falling for that vice.
